Seaside Park: Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer announced that a 17 year-old juvenile was taken into custody last night in connection with a shooting that occurred on October 27, 2020, in Seaside Park. The juvenile has been charged with Attempted Murder in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:5-1 and N.J.S.A. 2C11-3; Aggravated Assault in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:12-1b(3); Robbery in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:15-1; Possession of a Weapon For an Unlawful Purpose in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:39-4a; and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5b(1).
On October 27, 2020, at approximately 11:45 a.m., the Seaside Park Police Department responded to the area of I Street in response to a 911 call for a reported shooting. Responding Officers were met by witnesses to the shooting; a short time later, a white BMW pulled up to a marked Seaside Heights Police vehicle in the Borough of Seaside Heights and advised that one of the passengers was the victim of the shooting. The victim was taken to Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune, treated for injuries, and released. Following a thorough investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Seaside Park Police Department, Seaside Heights Police Department and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, the subject juvenile was identified as the shooter. A warrant for the juvenile’s arrest was executed by the Ocean County Regional SWAT Team, and the juvenile was taken into custody without incident. The juvenile was processed at Seaside Park Police Headquarters, and is currently lodged at the Ocean County Juvenile Detention Center.
Prosecutor Billhimer is grateful for the hard work and collaborative efforts of all law enforcement personnel involved in this comprehensive investigation leading to the juvenile’s apprehension, including the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Regional SWAT Team, Seaside Park Police Department, Seaside Heights Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit. “All the officers involved in this investigation worked at breakneck speed to identify and apprehend the individual responsible for this senseless act of violence, for which I am extremely grateful. As I have stated on numerous occasions, this unbridled lawlessness – whether perpetrated by an adult or a juvenile – will not be tolerated in Ocean County,” Prosecutor Billhimer stated.
The press and public are reminded that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Any information on where the suspect was taken into custody?
On scene
Thank You
There’s no public threat it was gang related and the cops are aware of who
Gangs are a public threat.
Tom Paine exactly lol
Jim Stendardo he’s in juvenile detention
Jennifer Camicia Jobes Thank You
Damion Huggins it appears your answer is inconsistent with the prosecutors statement
I know the perps, but not by name. I can promise you it’s purely drug and gang related.
Damion Huggins how do you know them / where are they from?
Ok
Good charge him as an adult.
James Metzler they better or he’ll be released in about a year!
Ocean County just keeps getting worse every year.
The worse crime infested cities in the country are democratically controlled.
It looks like too many NJ voters don’t see the correlation and still vote blue. ????
Rick Delmont Not true look it up
Amy Nicastro MacAvoy it is true.
Rick Delmont Absolutely right !!!!!
Funny, Seaside Park & Seaside Heights are both 100% Republicans.
Amy Nicastro MacAvoy https://www.mapquest.com/travel/25-most-dangerous-cities-in-the-us-in-2020/
The top 10 in this list all have democratic mayors. Didn’t bother looking up the rest but feel free.
Rick Delmont did
Let me guess, you’re a Democrat?
You are entitled to your own opinion, to which, I will listen. However, you are not entitled to deny reality, and substitute your own facts.
Additionally, please don’t tell me to look something up that I already know.
Maybe you should “look it up” before chiming in.
Jamie, that’s probably why they were arrested. ????
I’m willing to bet a dollar to a donut, the shooter doesn’t live in SSH or SSP.
Jamie Sundermann sadly the shooting were people who do not live in seaside .
Rick Delmont your right it’s horrendous and out of control. But yet they all want to blame police for the shit that goes on!
Gangs and drugs and robbery!
What I’ve learned is Republicans don’t have cities
since when do gangs have political affiliations?
Kelley, gangs don’t. However, they do seem to thrive in democratically controlled cities.
Rick Delmont gangs thrive in ALL cities. i come from a republican controlled town (for literally decades) where ms13 runs rampant, and has for decades. it’s why we left bound brook….a long time ago.
Amy Nicastro MacAvoy LOL ALL rat ALL ruined.. https://www.roadsnacks.net/these-are-the-10-murder-capitals-of-new-jersey/
Get a crayon. Do the math. rlsmedia.com
Kelley, Bound Brook has a crime rate lower than 68.3% of all US cities.
Plus the property values have been steadily increasing.
This stands in stark contrast to almost all democratically controlled cities.
I know there is MS-13 there, but your assertion that they “run rampant” seems to be an exaggeration, because if they were, property values would not be increasing as they are, and the crime rate would be much higher.
Look at these numbers.
Amy Nicastro MacAvoy
Jamie Sundermann very incorrect def Re SSPK
Great job all law enforcement agencies involved. With the crazy world we live in today, certainly gives you a sense of safety that you all work together so well.
When you vote in people like Murphy this is what you get
Jim Takacs and he just wants to keep letting them out ????
Jim Takacs Ocean County all Republican.
LOL The shooters have mostly been b l m.
They don’t lean republican unless they are the black man who’s business was destroyed in philthadelphia last night by burn loot murder for an armed criminal trying to stab a PD officer.
Funny how there was NO RIOT for the 2 kids killed in b on b last week in trentoon WHY DAT?
Hey idiot, this has nothing to do with Murphy
agreed with caveat. the problem is not just murphy, but also grewal. he needs to be fired, and someone who will do more than pander to lakewood put in his place.
Jamie Sundermann Democrat prosecutor appointed by Madman Murphy.
So this is how this tough guy wants to live his life, you use a gun and you damn well know your heading to prison, beyond stupid
and WHERE is this 17 year old FROM????
NickRac…what the helll…
Trash
Where was he/she from??????
What the hell is wrong with these kids that are throwing their entire life away?
????♀️ Oooooo! I know!
Welcome to the “time out”, “not my fault” generation!
Misty Dakota this generation kind of is undisciplined. Not everyone, but some!
First and foremost, the gun came from someone! It is illegal for a minor to “legally” obtain a handgun, in NJ.
Whos gun was it or who was it last registered to???
The person responsible for putting a gun in a minors hands should be on trial as well. In the case of the gun being taken without permission…the owner is still responsible for not reasonably securing his or her firearms! Lets start there!
I would also like to know where this model juvenile citizen got his concealed carry license. Many of us law abiding citizens are super jealous .
Larry Trainor me too Wonder where this fine young man is from.
Larry Trainor who said he got it legally? So sad just ruined his life…
Kathie Fregans Graczyk-Campanale not sad, it was a choice.
Kathie Fregans Graczyk-Campanle It was complete SARCASM.
A 17 year old can not legally get or posses a firearm !
Maryellen Acocella true but still sad.. guess he will now learn actions have consequences .
Little shit probably got it from the streets.
I see two routes that are possible with this possession of a firearm. First theft, could have looted a house with a gun while the owners are away. Second, bought it off the street. Shitty part is unless an incident report was filed if the gun was stolen, then it makes whoever’s owned the gun look real bad.
Rich, when they run the numbers…lets find out who was the last registered owner. We need details of what gun, what model, the age of it, where it was last purchased! We start there an keep pressure on. ????♂️
The FBI and politicians were able to dig through Kavanaughs high school year book within a week but Biden’s laptop sat untouched in the FBi’s hand for over a year.
My point is, the priorities in this country and especially democrat run states, are completely fucked up. We never hear about how, why, what, when, where…follow up information to these stories and crimes. They will fade away after the headline is forgotten about.
AMERICA WANTS ANSWERS!!!
Kathie Fregans Graczyk-Campanale no he won’t. He will now have more street credibility and learn how to be a better criminal while in jail. And we will support him.
Trumps America
It was Biden’s malarky that just recently said “shoot em the leg” ????♂️
Never the less, there is only 1 scumbag responsible for NJ’s climate and that is Phil Murphy !
Chad W Yeah here we go another lobotomized zombie blaming Trump for anything and everything !
Chad W because shootings and murders never happened before Trump became president??
Chad W Was that Bidens America on display in Philly last night?
Yep! biden’s terrorists b l m supporting an armed criminal who attacked police by burning and looting philthadelphia again last night. Another d-rat destroyed city.
Demonrats = https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-untold-tragedy-of-cam_b_9401640

Chad W lmfao
Chad W You are an idiot ????
Chad W Arresting a perp who killed someone instead of letting then walk? God Damn Right
d-rats marxist asshole shitholes is the truth libsuk. Why does almost every stolen or illegal gun get used in demonrat shitholes or by their criminal residents? Why do those guns pass 1000’s of responsible conservative areas and go like magnets to the d-rat destroyed cities? Because rats couldn’t run a faucet honestly. Just 1 of the d-rats murderfests. https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/how-democrats-destroyed-camden-john-perazzo/
John Ruhl put the meth away redneck
Parents really need to start doing a better job at raising their children! Now you can visit your 17yr old the rest of his life in prison! Wake up!
Lori Verello-Calderon unfortunately he won’t do the rest of his life in prison. He will probaly only be locked up for a few years. Maybe 10 at most.
This is what happens when you don’t wear a mask
Rich Fink Jr. u people need to do something other then talk shit about things like this. One you have know idea what happened. U are going off Facebook media knock it off for real . My son is praying for his good friend that is a very good kid. Shame on u. Please know what is the facts first before u open you mouths. Thank u

Numbers do not lie – rats do. https://amac.us/americas-25-worst-cities-are-democrat-led-the-answer-new-leaders/
John Ruhl agree… just spent a few days in Baltimore Inner Harbor! Horrible… homeless everywhere…
Saw a huge rat on the street… scary place…was approached several times… one young guy was def a meth addict looked like he came out of a vampire movie. Look at what’s happening in Manhattan, Chicago etc all run by Democrats!
since when does crime, and criminals, have a political affliation? they don’t even bother to register to vote, much less actually vote.
Kelley Bless The rats submit a vote for them. Here’s bookers boys doing what they been doing for years. https://www.google.com/search?q=patterson+democrats+arrested+for+voter+fraud&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS877US877&oq=patt&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j69i59j46i433i457j46i433j0i433j46i433l2.4300j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Rat cities do not do holidays well LMAO@RATS.
Lori Fitzgerald
Juvenile? Sorry . you are old enough to know what you are doing .. just call him a POS
Seaside has the motels set up for paroles and low life’s of America. A lot of dealers and gangs . Make seaside great again !!! Lock them all up !!! Law abiding citizens and responsible gun owners get screwed by these losers !
Frank Ryan Killer Murphy is letting 2,000 prisoners out of jail. I guess it pays to be a bad person.
Nothing but excuses from the rats while their cities burn. https://apnews.com/article/f84604913630146a6e4d174e581ae615

ARii Colletti
So close to my old house so glad I moved
He has a bright future ahead
Ughhhh my life is rough .. so im gonna be a thug and demand respect from other thugs… Infantile Tiny D*ck Losers
Thank yu police ????
I hope a thorough investigation is given to how a minor obtained an illegal firearm in a state with such strict gun laws. This loophole we constantly see needs to be addressed. How are people who aren’t supposed to legally possess firearms obtaining them?
Illegally, like most guns used in crimes are obtained; they go hand in hand.
Lisa D Arnold exactly
Ocean County Scanner News what loophole? Please explain
Paul J. Hansen joking right? You really don’t know how a criminal can get a gun if they want one? You must want stricter gun laws thinking they work. ????????
John Wehrle its the law abiding gun owner who pays the price, I am talking about a loophole in buying a gun. people who recently went out to buy a gun and they where shocked about how many hoops they have to jump thru.. The press always talk about the loophole my question to the author is what loophole. GUN LAWS DO NOT WORK
John Wehrle notice no explanation from the author
Paul J. Hansen yeah I don’t like misleading story’s and made up loopholes. I’m on a 6 months struggle obtaining my permit
John Wehrle NJ State law states 30 days to issue or reject.
Paul J. Hansen they rejected mine over finger prints. I call identigo and they say no issue my prints uploaded. Nj says oh well try again
John Wehrle contact attorney Evan Nappen he can possibly help
Probably released with no bail
Bry Pino he’s a juvenile. They don’t get bail.
Tell Joe Biden he thinks all the thugs looting and shooting need just mental health help and insurance lol ???? jackass
Nadine Ann please show your sources where joe Biden said EXACTLY this….I’ll wait
He says it so only educated folks can understand it. And the lawyers for these dirt bags are claiming mental illness. I’m think there’s a whole part of the population is mentally ill and should be put away.
Shar Fry channel 6 this morning abc news actually
Nadine Ann why do you have to bring Biden into something that has nothing to do with him?
Shar Fry watch the news, it was all over the news this morning
Nisi Lubanski thanks Nisi ????
Not surprised
So sad
If they are 17 and under and they do a crime like this the parents should also be charged
Shit if theyre ols enough to shoot theyre old wnough to go to jail
Its time for CCW in nj NOW before its to late keeo the shit out of Nj
Poor little Pookie!!
