TOMS RIVER/ BEACHWOOD: Earlier tonight a report of shots fired went out over some channels. This was in reference to a possible drive-by shooting on the 1900 Block of Red Cedar in Toms River. It was quickly confirmed that bullet(s) struck the residence, and the suspect had fled. A full description of the suspect’s vehicle was broadcast, and an MOCIB (Monmouth-Ocean County’s shared information system) was issued for his apprehension.
The suspect fled in a Chevrolet vehicle equipped with OnStar, and possessed a smartphone. Using technology available to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department (obtained under Sheriff Mastronardy) they were able to ping the coordinates of his phone- and contact OnStar for more options. OnStar also has the power to disable a vehicle remotely, and/or provide GPS coordinates to law enforcement.
Information was then received and broadcast over common channels the suspect might be headed for a storage trailer of some sort on Mizzen in Beachwood. He was allegedly going to stash the weapon, a firearm. The exact kind of gun used is unknown at press time- vague descriptions given over the radio eluded to an AR-type rifle, or assault rifle. These facts were quickly shared with Beachwood Police, with OCSD officers enroute also. Meanwhile back at the OCSD Command HQ- The suspect’s vehicle was tracked to exiting the GSP at Interchange 77 southbound. Quick thinking sharing of information allowed the suspect to be apprehended without incident at the address on Mizzen.
The weapon is in possession of Toms River Police, and the suspect is in custody. It appears nobody was injured, but unknown condition of any occupant(s) of residence on Red Cedar. This is a developing story, and OCSN will publish a new story upon discovering new facts.

Kelsey Clifton what situation? You mean a sad excuse for a man to open fire at a house? You mean a situation where there are other homes right next to each other that have kids living in them? This POS could’ve killed someone’s innocent child and you’re sticking up for him saying we can’t speak because we don’t know the situation? He’s a bitch plain and simple. I also feel bad for you that you think this is okay. And the fact you gotta tag other people to stick up for you after making a dumb ass comment.

Dawn Marie Rotella Ummmmm what now? Can you say that again in English please?
Shauna Brower I was trying to understand what a dick dizzy was lol
Dawn Marie Rotella yea never heard of that before neither but I’m gonna guess it’s like being dumbfounded but “dickfounded” ????♀️????♀️????♀️
Shauna Brower ahhhh welll thank you I will put that in my dick and dizzy book. ????????♀️????????♀️
Dawn Marie Rotella I mean don’t quote me on it. Just with the other words she used in that sentence it seems logical that’s what she meant.
Shauna Brower no I’m not I don’t really care what it means it’s fun to say … next time I get cut off I’m useing it
Rachael Russ Parent actually he didn’t shoot up a house they just have to state that in any situation that involves a shooting in a residential area ????!
Brittney Clifton these fb trolls aren’t even worth it that’s why I stopped answering them we have more important things to worry about and the for ppl who think I’m screwing my father your foul
Kelsey Clifton I’m screaming it’s just so funny i love fighting w Facebook losers ????
Kelsey Clifton are u dick and dizzy
Dawn Marie Rotella dizzy from all my anxiety right now lol
This post just took a hard left ????????
Brittney Clifton I actually never said he shot up a house if you read my comment. I said shot at a house. Either way whatever the situation was not to smart shooting at a house with others around. If a stray bullet went into an innocent child’s head would you still be defending him?
I don’t care who this dude is to you ladies, your dad, baby daddy, brother, uncle, cousin, it was still a poor choice to make by doing this!!!!!!!!
Dawn Marie Rotella just make sure you say it with the same accent as the orbit gum commercial from back in the day ????????????????

Great and fast work PD and all involved.
Thank you so very much. Glad you got him. Good work. Prayers and stay safe.
Update: Thankfully nobody was injured, and shots were fired in the air. The suspect may have had a pre-existing mental issue related to this shooting incident.
Ocean County Scanner News but was still able to get an assault rifle? Yikes!
Sue Schmidt Adams
The exact weapon used has not been released yet.
Sue Schmidt Adams assault rock, assault brick, assault stick, you can “assault” anyone with anything.
Ocean County Scanner News
Ocean County Scanner News that’s no excuse how does he get a gun to begin with ? Mental haha excuses excuses let me see this mother fucker!
Sue Schmidt Adams still they didn’t say “Assault Rifle” you’re trying to make an invalid point.
Andrea Magliocco-Reeves what do you think an AR-15 is. A hand gun??
James Metzler an Ar-15 is a ArmaLite Rifle, not an assault rifle
James Metzler I know exactly what it is but calling it an assault rifle is the stupidest thing. You ppl don’t obviously know what assault pertains to in any object used as a weapon. Someone may “assault” you with a chair. Stupidity
James Metzler oh and by the way, you can get “assaulted” by a handgun too. Just saying.
Tim Calleja
Andrea Magliocco-Reeves exactly!
AR15 armalite rifle… Semi-auto
Ocean County Scanner News No sexism this time? Ahh got it. Mental health bad stigma rejuvenation. If we could get something going where you just share the articles and keep your descriptions and bullshit out of it until you graduate high school and learn how to actually be halfway professional.

Ocean County Scanner News dave great story
My opinion, if a call comes over as Assault Rifle or Weapon by name IE. Ar15 ak47 or even a dam Machine gun its always good to let the ppl know, thats how it was dispatched. Then clear it up with police facts.
Once again GREAT COVERAGE OCSN.
The posts says. ar style rifle with a quotation marks around assault rifle. Ar stands for armalite rifle. Not assault rifle. Can we please educate the general public instead of miss-leading.

Jen Rosario-Valenti they caught this guy from his OnStar coordinates.
