Ronnell Knight apparently walked up to a vehicle outside of a restaurant on the 2500 block of E. Edgar Road and fired several shots as the driver left the parking lot around 1:10 a.m. on Feb. 17, Linden Police Chief David Hart said.
No injuries were reported in the shooting and, after three weeks, Knight was identified as a suspect.
“I am very proud of the collective effort leading to a timely arrest in this case,” Hart said. “Stopping violent crime remains our top priority, and this investigation is another great example of the incredible work done by our Officers and Detectives each and every day.”
Knight was arrested by members of the Elizabeth Police Department on March 9, 2021 and remanded to the Union County Jail.
These criminal charges are mere accusations. Every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
