WILLINGBORO, N.J. - Three men were charged in a deadly drive-by shooting outside a Willingboro social club last year that claimed the life of an innocent man.
Kirk Williams, 33, Robert Cardona, 39, and Christopher Tokley, 45, were each charged with first-degree murder and weapons offenses.
Major Hamilton was killed in the May 21, 2024 shooting that erupted after investigators say a dark-colored vehicle made two passes by 609 Elite Social Club.
What we know:

It was later learned that Hamilton was not the shooter's intended target, and the person the gunman was after was not in the area when shots were fired.
Over a year after the deadly shooting, prosecutors charged three men – Kirk Williams, 33, Robert Cardona, 39, and Christopher Tokley, 45 – with first-degree murder.
Williams and Tokley were each arrested in April, and Cardona was charged while in custody for an unrelated crime in Camden County.
