Two Atlantic County men have been sentenced for the 2021 murder of a 28-year-old Atlantic City man, prosecutors said.
Denzel Garrison, 33, of Atlantic City, was sentenced Wednesday to 58 years in New Jersey State Prison. Laquine Demby, 35, of Pleasantville, was sentenced to 42 years in state prison.
An Atlantic County jury found both men guilty in March after a two-week trial in the murder of Jahmil Greenidge.
Prosecutors said evidence at trial showed Garrison had been involved in a minor car crash with Greenidge two months before the killing. A dispute over who would pay the vehicle insurance deductibles led to a feud, and prosecutors said Garrison enlisted Demby to help commit the murder.

On May 19, 2021, prosecutors said Demby drove Garrison to Greenidge’s home, where they waited nearly an hour for him to return from work. Garrison then approached Greenidge from behind and shot him six times in the foyer of the apartment building as Greenidge was entering, prosecutors said.
Garrison was found guilty of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. Demby was found guilty of murder as an accomplice and conspiracy to commit murder.
Both sentences are subject to the No Early Release Act.
