A Camden NJ man has been sentenced to 28 years in New Jersey State Prison for threatening to kill a woman in 2013 and then firing gunshots at three people.
The scary incidents occurred on January 18, 2013. The first incident occurred early in the day, when the suspect allegedly threatened to kill a Woodbury NJ woman.
According to Camden County prosecutors, the suspect committed a shooting later that same day. He was reportedly wearing a black mask when he fired several gunshots into a Dodge Charger on the 200 block of Rand Street in Camden, NJ. The vehicle was occupied by three people at the time: a 39-year-old Camden woman, her 39-year-old boyfriend, and her teenage son.
The suspect, who was standing behind the car at the time of the shooting, allegedly continued to fire gunshots as the vehicle drove away.
Although the woman and the boy in the vehicle were unhurt during the shooting, the man, who is from Merchantville NJ, sustained a gunshot wound.
The suspect was later placed under arrest and charged with numerous criminal offenses, including nine counts of aggravated assault, as well as one count each of terroristic threats, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and a certain persons offense for being a felon illegally in possession of a weapon.
A trial was held earlier this year in Camden County Superior Court, which is located in Camden, New Jersey. At the conclusion of the trial, the suspect, a 42-year-old man from Camden, received a sentence of 28 years in NJ State Prison.
Additionally, the terms of the suspect’s sentence require him to serve at least 20 years behind bars before he might become eligible for release on parole.
