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.
