ASBURY PARK — Police are investigating the shooting of a city man during an
apparent robbery attempt.
The victim, who lives on Fourth Avenue, initially told police he was shot
once in Red Bank on early Saturday morning. But after further investigation,
authorities determined the 22-year-old was shot on the 1100 block of Sewall
Avenue in the city.
A friend of the victim drove him to Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch
to be treated for the single gunshot wound to the stomach, said City Police
Capt. David Kelso.
When the victim said he had been shot in Red Bank, police from that borough,
along with members of the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office, started an
investigation.
But then authorities determined the shooting actually happened in the city
around 3 a.m., said Kelso.
City police had investigated a report of shots fired in that area around
that time.
Police said the shooter approached the victim, displayed a gun and demanded
his belonging.
The victim punched the man, and the man shot the 22-year-old, police said.
Then the shooter ran away.
The gunman was described as a 18- to 19-year-old black man, with a light to
medium complexion, who was about 5 feet 11 inches tall, had short hair, no
facial hair, and wore blue jeans, a gray hooded pullover sweatshirt and white
sneakers.
Detective Eugene Dello is handling the investigation for the city. Anyone
with information is asked to call him at (732) 502-5776. Information can also
be left anonymously on the department's tip line at 1-800-799-8280.

Kicking homeless people out of a shelter...
You just have to love it when what goes around comes around.
Great press, your new condos will look like the iron frame work that stood
there for 20 years, in the next 20.

Here we go again, people blaming the plight of the black man on
everything but his own actions....Wow, it is amazing how blacks can do
anything, I
MEAN ANYTHING, rape a child, murder, robbery, drug use, sell drugs, whore
themselves, show bias towards people....all of this is wrong but guess
what...THEY
GOT A FREE PASS...Society blames everything that the black man does on
someone else.....Come on already......the Jews where killed in the millions in
WW
II and they are not out there on the street doing this violent things....and
they aren't blaming everything they do wrong on the GERMANS r
NAZI's.....Black people act this way because they want to, they want to stay
ignorant
because they want to, they want to sell drugs and by some BLING BLING because
they
want to, they want to impregnate woman upon woman and take no responsability
because they want to....They know better, if you can't look in your
community for good examples look elsewhere and you will see what the rest of
the w
orld does to earn an honest living, raise a good family, get a decent
education....They don't want to do this because they don't want to.....

I'm new to the forum. I think the violence in AP is very sad, and that
the reason it happens is based on a number of causes. I believe that the
redevelopment on the east side of town is actually hurting the poor people on
the
west side, because I think that it makes some low income folks angry that
their town is being taken over by condos that they can't afford. Cookman Ave.
is almost exclusively white-it used to be a mixed area. First Night is mostly
white. Redevelopment efforts are pushing the poor blacks out of AP and this
causes distress, leading to anger and violence. I think that it may be
contributing to violence in surrounding towns as well- Ocean grove has had a
rash of
burglaries lately and I know of 2 armed muggings. I used to always feel safe
walking around OG but now I and some of my friends are scared, it's so
awful because that's being able to walk everywhere is one of the reasons I
moved
to the town. What a sad state of affairs. Also, the closing of the homeless
shelter is a wrong decision. It's only been open a few months and it has a
great rehab program-and it was somewhere for the homeless of asbury park to
sleep at night! Ugh
