Police were called to 484 John F. Kennedy Boulevard around 5:10 a.m. on a report of shots fired during a domestic violence incident. Arriving officers found a woman who had sustained a gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead at the scene. 

She has been identified as Diamond Robinson. 

Less than an hour later, a Jersey City man, Anthony Shuler, 28, was arrested on East 21st Street in Bayonne. He has been charged with murder and weapons violations. 

Shuler was acquitted last year in the 2010 shooting of Darren Edwards in Jersey City after spending eight years awaiting trial. Following his release, he praised God, stating "it is he who allowed me to undergo my struggle without doubt", according to published reports. 

The Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit and the Bayonne Police Department continue to investigate this case. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Office of the Hudson County Prosecutor at 201-915-1345. All information will be kept confidential.
