Police probe Asbury shooting
Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 02/20/07
ASBURY PARK Police are searching for the gunmen who fired at a 20-
year-old Neptune man early this morning on Bangs Avenue.
The victim - whose name was not released - was shot at approximately
five times, police said. One bullet struck his left hand, and one
grazed his left hip, said Lt. Dave Kelso.
Police are investigating whether the shooting was gang-related, he
said.
Around 12:30 a.m. this morning, the victim walked out of a home on
the 1400 block of Bangs Avenue and was confronted by a group of
approximately five males - two stood on the sidewalk and at least
three more were on the street, Kelso said.
All wore dark sweatshirts, with the hoods over their heads, possibly
to conceal their identities, police said.
The victim believes two of the males fired at him.
After he was struck, the group ran away, heading east on Bangs
Avenue, said Kelso.
The victim was treated and released at Jersey Shore University
Medical Center in Neptune.
Police ask that anyone with information call Asbury Park Police
Detective Jason LaRusso at (732) 502-5770 or the department's tip
line at (800) 799-8280, or Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office
Detective Dan Baldwin at (800) 533-7443.
