A Monmouth County grand jury indicted an Asbury Park man on charges of attempted murder, accusing him of shooting another Asbury Park resident in a May 23 incident.
The indictment, handed up Tuesday, accuses Antonio J. Pabon, 1117 Sunset Avenue, of first-degree attempted murder and second-degree charges of aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a weapon for obtaining a handgun without a permit and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
Police arrested Pabon, 19, after receiving a call on May 23 of shots fired in the 100 block of Atkins Avenue, between Mattison and Springwood avenues, Asbury Park Police Captain Anthony Salerno said at the time.
First Aid responders transported the 18-year-old victim to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, who was later reported to be in stable condition.
Following the investigation into the incident, police executed a search warrant on Pabon’s home at 1117 Sunset Ave. He was arrested in the 1300 block of Langford Street, between Sunset and Fifth avenues, after a short foot pursuit, Salerno had said.
While Salerno would not comment after the May arrest on the results of the search at Pabon’s home or whether there was any narcotics or gang-related activity between the suspect and the victim, the indictment states there is a “substantial likelihood” Pabon is involved in organized criminal activity.
