Tyshaun Drummond, 39, shot and killed Nicholas Hardy, 36, of Toms River, and Sergio Chavez-Perez, 32, of Lakewood, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said.
Their bodies were found inside of the River Avenue apartment complex after the 7:20 a.m. shooting, Billhimer said. The Lakewood Scoop obtained exclusive footage from the scene in the original reporting of the story.
Responding authorities tracked down Drummond based on descriptions given to them. Officers ordered Drummond to lay on the ground but, when he refused, he was subdued by way of a department-issued Conducted Energy Device (CED).
Drummond was in custody at a nearby hospital.
“The deaths of these two men are senseless and tragic," the prosecutor said.
The investigation was active and ongoing.
