The shooter or shooters remain at large, authorities said.
Idel Rodriguez-Garcia, 29, of Atlantic City, was shot in the head at the intersection of Arctic and Maxwell avenues near B & B Saloon at 3:43 a.m., according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon G. Tyner.
Two shooting victims remain hospitalized — one with life-threatening injuries. Another victim has been treated and released from the hospital, authorities said.
