An Atlantic City man was sentenced Thursday morning in connection with the fatal shooting of another Atlantic City man on March 12, 2018, according to Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon G. Tyner. Howard Cassell, 30, was sentenced before Presiding Judge Bernard DeLury to five years in New Jersey state prison for second-degree manslaughter, subject to the No Early Release Act. Cassell had previously pleaded guilty to the charge. The sentence stems from the shooting death of Da’Quan Montague, 23, of Atlantic City, which occurred on March 12, 2018, in the area of 18 North New Jersey Avenue in Atlantic City. Cassell had been charged with second-degree reckless manslaughter, second-degree possession of a firearm without a permit, and second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. A third man involved, Tajai Hicks-Anderson, 23, also of Atlantic City, was charged with third-degree aggravated assault and released on a summons. The investigation was conducted jointly by the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office and the Atlantic City Police Department. Assistant Prosecutor Aaron Witherspoon represented the state.
