FREEHOLD, N.J. — A 19-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the fatal shooting of another young man in Asbury Park earlier this year, authorities announced Friday.
Jordan I. Glisson, also of Asbury Park, is facing charges of first-degree murder, second-degree unlawful possession of a handgun, and second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
Police were called to the 1100 block of Atlantic Avenue around 4:25 p.m. on April 8 after reports of gunfire. When officers arrived, they found 19-year-old Ah’kim Esdaile with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died.
Following an investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Bureau and Asbury Park police, Glisson was identified as the suspect. He was arrested on Monday by the U.S. Marshals Service and local police and is now being held at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution.
He awaits his first court appearance in Monmouth County Superior Court. Information about his legal representation was not immediately available.
