Acting Camden County Prosecutor James P. Lynch and Camden Police Executive Robert L. Stewart announced today that a Camden man has been charged with Murder in the shooting death of a nightclub bouncer earlier this month in Camden, N.J.

Lynch and Stewart asked for the public’s assistance in locating Darnell M. Cloud, a.k.a. Darnell McCloud, 26, accused of fatally shooting Curtis Jackson, 32, at approximately 2:30 a.m. on April 15, 2006, outside the Café II nightclub on Ferry Avenue.

Cloud is described as an African-American male, approximately 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, with short black hair and brown eyes. Please see photo below.

It is alleged that the defendant was one of a number of nightclub patrons who assaulted the victim as Jackson tried to break up a fight inside the club. It is further alleged that, during a confrontation with the victim a short time later in the parking lot, Cloud pulled a handgun and fired multiple times in Jackson’s direction. Cloud then allegedly entered a parked vehicle and sped away.

Jackson was one of several men working security at the club. He was struck in the head by a bullet and collapsed in the parking lot.
