A New Jersey man has been charged with murder and kidnapping in the death of a 20-year-old, who was abducted and killed after the criminal sent his family a photo of the victim demanding “10 to 15 pounds of marijuana,” police said.

Curtis Jenkins III, the grandson of Camden’s council president, Curtis Jenkins Sr., left his home at around 11 p.m. on June 30 to deliver food. But when he failed to return, his family filed a missing report in the early hours of the following day.
