FREEHOLD, NJ – A man wanted for an attempted murder charge for a non-fatal shooting in Asbury Park last month has been captured in Brick Township by the U.S. Marshal’s Office.
Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Lori Linskey said Kenneth R. Bronson, 18, was charged with first-degree attempted murder and two related second-degree weapons offenses.
“Shortly after 6 p.m. on Sunday, March 20, members of the Asbury Park Police Department responded to a report of a shooting on the 100 block of Langford Street. At that location, they found the shooting victim, an adult male, who was transported to Jersey Shore Regional Medical Center for emergency treatment,” Linskey said. “A subsequent investigation by members of the MCPO Major Crimes Bureau and the Asbury Park Police Department resulted in Bronson being identified as a suspect in the case, and he was arrested without incident by members of the Prosecutor’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Service early yesterday morning, Tuesday, April 5, in Brick Township (Ocean County). Bronson was subsequently lodged in the Monmouth County Correctional Institution (MCCI) pending a first appearance and detention hearing to take place in Monmouth County Superior Court.”
