Giovanni Esposito, of Paulsboro, had previously hit the victim with his van, and told authorities he intended on killing him the next time he saw him, the outlet said citing an affidavit.

He did just that around 1:20 p.m. on Sunday, March 20 in Paulsboro, when he struck the victim with his van for the second time, NJ.com says.

Esposito was being held in Salem County Correctional Facility pending a detention hearing.

Anyone with information is urged to call Detective Krystal Santiago of the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office at 856-384-5508 or Paulsboro Sgt. Len Vasta at 856-423-1101.
