Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer announced that on August 8, 2025, Jaheim Wilson, 23, of Stockton, California, was charged with Home Invasion Burglary, Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon, all in connection with an incident that occurred in Point Pleasant Borough on August 7, 2025. Additionally, Oleyah Brown, 21, also of Stockton, California, was charged with Home Invasion Burglary in connection with the same incident.
On August 7, 2025, at approximately 1:38 p.m., Officers from the Point Pleasant Borough Police Department were summoned to a residence on Barton Avenue for a report of a home invasion with a gunshot having been fired. Responding Officers found that the rear door to the residence had been forced open and that the residence had been burglarized. An investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit and Point Pleasant Borough Police Department revealed that a male – who possessed a handgun – and a female kicked open the rear door of the residence while the occupant was present in the home. The pair then burglarized the residence, taking personal property belonging to the occupant. The male then fired a single gunshot, and both he and the female fled the scene. Further investigation led to the identification of Wilson and Brown as the individuals who burglarized the residence.
At approximately 11:00 p.m. on August 7, 2025, Ocean Prosecutor’s Office Detectives located Wilson and Brown in Toms River, and they were taken into custody without incident. Wilson and Brown were transported to the Ocean County Jail where they are presently lodged pending a detention hearing.
Prosecutor Billhimer commends the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force, Point Pleasant Borough Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, for their collaborative assistance in connection with this investigation.
