This verdict brings a partial closure to a case that has gripped the community since the tragic event unfolded in December 2021.
The Crime and Investigation
Imam Mohamed Hassan Adam, a well-regarded figure in his community, was brutally robbed and then murdered in South Linden. His body was discovered in a van near Joyce and Windsor Avenues, two days after he was reported missing, sending shockwaves through the community. The subsequent investigation led to the arrest and trial of Isaiah Brown-Miller and his accomplice, John Wooden.
The conviction of Isaiah Brown-Miller marks a pivotal moment in the pursuit of justice for Imam Adam’s family and the community. The trial, which detailed the events leading up to the Imam’s murder, painted a harrowing picture of the crime. Prosecutors successfully argued Brown-Miller’s involvement in the robbery and subsequent murder, leading to his conviction.
John Wooden, the accomplice in the crime, was found guilty in October and awaits sentencing. His conviction, alongside Brown-Miller’s, underscores the seriousness of the crime and the justice system’s commitment to holding those responsible accountable. The partnership in crime between Brown-Miller and Wooden highlights the often-complex nature of criminal activities and the importance of thorough investigations.

The guilty verdict, while bringing some sense of justice, also serves as a reminder of the impact of violent crime on communities and the irreplaceable loss of a valued leader.
While the conviction of Isaiah Brown-Miller brings some resolution, the sentencing phase will be crucial in determining the full extent of justice served in this case.
