On Wednesday, June 12 at 11:30 p.m., Toms River police responded to a residence on Adams Avenue and found a 24-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the leg, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said. The victim was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune for treatment of his injuries; he was treated and subsequently released, Billhimer said.
An investigation determined Anthony Brown retrieved a handgun and fired two shots at the victim's vehicle and then fled the scene, Billhimer said.
Brown pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and a weapons offense and is expected to be sentenced to five years in prison as part of a plea agreement, Billhimer said.
