Authorities are asking the public to help identify additional suspects in the November shooting in Plainfield that left one man dead and a woman and 6-year-old girl wounded.
PLAINFIELD -- Authorities today issued a plea for the public's help to identify additional suspects believed to have been involved in a shooting last November that left one man dead and a woman and a 6-year-old girl wounded.
One suspect, Jordan Robinson, 22, of Edison, has been arrested for the Nov. 6 shooting on the 300 block of Evona Avenue where Anthony Bowles, 24, was fatally wounded, acting Union County Prosecutor Grace Park said in a statement today.
Bowles was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick where he was pronounced dead.
The 6-year-old girl was taken to another hospital for emergency treatment of wounds suffered in the 2:15 p.m. shooting, and a 33-year-old woman was treated at the scene, authorities said.
Robinson was arrested about two weeks later, on Nov. 19, in Matawan and charged with murder, Park announced today. Robinson is being held on $1.5 million bail in the Union County Jail.
Detectives are asking anyone with information about others involved in the shooting to contact authorities.
"Those who were present during the shooting, which took place in broad daylight on a busy street, are asked to think back to that day and recall any details that might prove useful," Park said in the statement.
She urged anybody with information to call contact Homicide Task Force Sgt. Joe Vendas at (908) 358-3048 or Detective Sofia Santos at (908) 577-4256.
The Union County Crime Stoppers are offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case. Tips can be given anonymously by phone at (908) 654-8477, or via text message by texting "UCTIP" plus a message to 274637 (CRIMES), or online at www.uctip.org.
Robinson's arrested resulted from a joint investigation involving the Union County Homicide Task Force, Plainfield police, the Union County Police Department Ballistics Unit, the Union County Sheriff's Office and Edison police, the prosecutor said.
