Asbury Park resident Jermaine Huntley, 28, was shot outside of a home on the 1200 block of Washington Avenue Thursday morning.
Asbury Park Police received a call at 9:55 a.m. reporting someone had been shot in the area. After he was shot, Huntley was taken to Jersey Shore Medical Center by an independent party where he was pronounced dead at 10:28 a.m, according to Monmouth County First Assistant Prosecutor Marc LeMieux.
It is the city’s first fatal shooting of the year, Lemieux confirmed.
Huntley lived in a residence on the same block, Lemieux said.
Lemieux is unable to comment on the extent of Huntley’s injuries at this time, or whether the incident is gang related, as the incident is still under active investigation.
