Camden County NJ Assault AttorneysA Camden New Jersey man was sentenced to 28 years in NJ State Prison for threatening to kill a woman and then shooting a gun at three other people.

The frightening incidents occurred on the same day in early 2013. The first incident involved the suspect allegedly threatening to kill a woman from Woodbury, New Jersey.

According to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, the suspect also used a gun later that same day and fired gunshots into a car. When the suspect approached the back of a Dodge Charger that was on the roadway in Camden NJ, he was reportedly concealing his identity by covering his face with a black mask. At the time of the shooting, there were three people inside the car: a 39-year-old Merchantville man, his 39-year-old girlfriend from Camden NJ, and the woman’s teen son.

The woman and the boy were not injured during the shooting, but the man suffered a gunshot wound.

The suspect was apprehended and arrested by Camden County police. He was subsequently charged with a number of crimes, including nine counts of aggravated assault and 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.

In early 2016, the 42-year-old suspect stood trial in Camden County Superior Court. He was ultimately convicted and then sentenced to a term of incarceration of 28 years in New Jersey State Prison. Moreover, the suspect won’t be eligible for release on parole until after serving at least 20 years behind bars.
