Corey Fuqua, 19, of North Brunswick and Gede Maccelus, 20, of Princeton, shot the teen near Throop Avenue and Redmond Street around 7:10 p.m. on Jan. 20, said Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone.

The boy was treated for his injuries at a nearby hospital and Fuqua and Maccelus were each charged with one count of first-degree attempted murder and second-degree unlawful possession of a handgun on Jan. 25, Ciccone said alongside local police director Anthony A. Caputo.

Fuqua and Maccelus were in custody pending a pre-trial detention hearing in Superior Court.

Anyone with information or surveillance footage of the area is asked to call Detective Keith Walcott of the New Brunswick Police Department at (732)745-5200 or Detective Paul Kelley of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office at (732)745-3330.

As is the case with all criminal defendants, the charges against Fuqua and Maccelus are merely accusations and they are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
