Shots rang out in a Toms River mobile home park Tuesday afternoon, leading to attempted murder charges against one juvenile and a police search for another. The would-be victim of the shooting was not hit.
The ages and names of the victim and one known suspect were not released, however both were male. A third male suspect remains unidentified.
According to Lt. Gene Bachonski, Toms River Police officers at about 4:05 p.m. were called to the area of Camino Medio for reported gunshots heard in the area. Contact was made with a male victim who stated that he was riding his bicycle through the Friendly Village development and was shot at by a juvenile he apparently knew. Multiple rounds were fired, none of which hit the victim but some did hit neighboring houses.
The Ocean County CSI Unit responded to document the scene and collect evidence. The juvenile suspect (pictured in white shirt in the photograph with this story) has been identified and juvenile complaints were approved and signed for attempted murder and unlawful possession of a weapon.
Investigators need your help to identify the individual in the black shirt and/or the silver vehicle pictured. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Mastronardy 732-349-0150, ext. 1346.
