Andre Paul, 27, of Ocean Township is charged with first-degree attempted murder, hindering apprehension and weapons offenses, according to Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago.

Shortly before 11 p.m. on May 22, members of the Neptune City Police Department responded to the Brighton Arms apartment complex on West Sylvania Avenue for a report of shots fired. 

Police found no injuries, but found that multiple vehicles and an apartment unit in the complex had been struck by gunfire, Santiago said.

An investigation involving members of the MCPO Major Crimes and Forensics Bureaus and the Neptune City Police Department resulted in Paul being identified as a suspect in the case, and the charges against him were filed last month. 

On Thursday, Sept. 14, members of the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force located and arrested Paul without incident in Stone Mountain, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, the prosecutor said.

Paul remains in custody pending extradition proceedings and court appearances in Monmouth County Superior Court, he said.

Anyone with information about this or related matters is urged to contact MCPO Detective Brian Migliorisi at 800-533-7443 or Neptune City Police Department Detective Chris Devlin at 732-775-1615.
