Update: Police Seek Gunman in Edison 'Drive-by Shooting'

Edison

Police are searching for a gunman wanted in connection with the drive-by shooting that injured a 29-year-old man early Tuesday morning in the parking lot of a Truman Drive apartment complex.

The victim, a tenant at Kilmer Homes Apartments, was shot once in the chest and underwent emergency surgery to remove the bullet earlier today at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick. According to police, the victim is currently listed in stable condition.

Officers and detectives were dispatched to the apartment complex at 117 Truman Drive just before 12:45 a.m. after the victim's wife called 911, saying she was awakened by her injured husband's screams for help outside their apartment's front door, police said.

The woman told police she found him bleeding from a gunshot wound before he collapsed onto their apartment floor, where he was found by responding officers.

A searched of the apartment building and the area for the gunman came back empty.

However, detectives did find numerous shell casings on the street and several bullet holes on the victim's gray Acura TL, parked in a lot outside his building, police Lt. Robert Dudash said.

Township police are working with the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office to find the gunman involved in this shooting.

Anyone with information should contact Edison Detective Michael Michalski at (732) 248-7525.
