At 12:19 p.m., on April 30, Atlantic City police responded to the beach block of Park Place for a report of a domestic dispute inside a vehicle.
The 9-1-1 caller also reported that the male suspect was in possession of a handgun and had threatened to use it against the victim. Police arrived to find one of the parties involved, Nasir Sutton, standing in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle. The victim was located a short distance away.
After speaking to the victim, Officers Michael Gunsser and William Palmer learned that Sutton threatened to assault her and shoot her in the head, according to police.

The loaded handgun was later determined to be stolen out of the state of Georgia.
Sutton, 25, of Newark, was charged with several weapons offenses and with receiving stolen property, police said.
