Jersey City's Brandon Montauge, 24, is being held in Newport News, Virginia, pending his extradition back to New Jersey following an investigation into the fatal shooting of 34-year-old Tyreef Robinson, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez announced on Thursday, March 9 following his arrest.

The shooting was reported shortly after 10 p.m. on Saturday, March 4 in Jersey City.

Prosecutors say that the Jersey City Police Department was notified of a shooting on Bergen Avenue, and upon arrival, officers found Robinson, also of Jersey City, with a gunshot wound to his upper body.

He was pronounced dead at the scene by first responders less than a half-hour later at 10:27 p.m. on Saturday night.

Robinson’s body was transported to the Regional Medical Examiner’s Office, which determined his cause of death to be a gunshot wound to the torso and bi-lateral lower extremity.

The shooting ruled a homicide by the ME, and Montauge was picked up by police in Virginia on March 9.

Montague was charged with murder and two counts of possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose. No initial court appearance has been announced by investigators pending his extradition back to New Jersey.
