Members of the Bergen County Regional SWAT team tossed in "flash-bang" stun grenades before seizing Bryant Kyron Dula, 29, at the Colonial Hill Gardens apartments just off Route 46 around 5:30 a.m. June 14, law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the arrest told Daily Voice.
Also arrested and charged on Wednesday in the May 23 shooting at Carver Park is fellow ex-con Najee Lloyd, 32, of Wood-Ridge.
Both Dula -- also known as "Feva Five" -- and Lloyd have lengthy adult criminal histories that began when each turned 18.
Bergen County prosecutor's detectives charged both on Wednesday with three counts of attempted murder, as well as weapons offenses that include possession of firearms as a convicted felon.
All of the charges are first degree, which each carry a minimum 10 years in prison -- at the very least -- for a conviction, and much longer when there are multiples.
Both Dula and Lloyd were booked into the Bergen County Jail to await first appearances in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.
Police who'd responded to Clay and Second streets near Carver Park around 5:30 p.m. May 23 found a 35-year-old man with a graze wound, Musella said.
He refused treatment, the prosecutor said.
A 40-year-old man, meanwhile, arrived at Hackensack University Medical Center in a private vehicle, the prosecutor said.
The shooter, who witnesses said was wearing a blue hoodie, was said to have fled south on 3rd Street in a silver Honda.
Unconfirmed reports were that the vehicle was involved in a crash in Teaneck.
"Omg I just heard like 20 shots," an area resident posted.
One witness said an AR15-type rifle was used. Another said police found a handgun at the scene, suggesting a possible exchange of gunfire.
Dula, formerly of Bogota and Englewood, has been arrested at Carver Park multiple times, records show, including once when a city officer who crashed a drug deal sustained a pair of ankle fractures after the suspects resisted in April 2013.

Three years ago, Dula was captured at the Teaneck Marriott at Glenpointe by county prosecutor's detectives and local police on a warrant charging him with a shooting in Middlesex County. A gun reportedly was recovered in his room.
