Two shootings in Asbury Park, Neptune leave two men hospitalized
Shots rang out twice within three hours Thursday night, in front of Asbury Park
and Neptune homes less than a mile apart, sending two local men to the
hospital, prosecutors said.
The shootings were the latest in a string of gunfire incidents in and around
the southwest section of Asbury Park in recent weeks.
The first occurred around 8:47 p.m., when Shamere Reed, 18, of Summerfield
Avenue in Asbury Park, was shot once in the back on the sidewalk in front of a
residence in the 1400 block of Asbury Avenue, according to Assistant Monmouth
County Prosecutor Marc LeMieux, director of the Major Crimes Bureau.
Reed was taken to an area hospital, where he is listed in critical, but stable
condition, LeMieux added.
The second incident occurred around 11:32 p.m., when Kavon McMillon, 21, of
Neptune, was shot multiple times in his mid-section in front of a residence in
the 1200 block of Heck Avenue in Neptune, LeMieux explained.
McMillon also was taken to an area hospital, where he is listed in critical
condition, LeMieux said.
Since Memorial Day, there have been eight other incidents involving gunfire in
and around the same neighborhood. One man was killed by gunfire and shots were
fired into or at cars or houses in four incidents including shots fired into
a car just around the corner from Thursday's Neptune shooting, on Atkins Avenue.
