One person died and another was injured Sunday after they were shot near an Atlantic City market, authorities announced Monday afternoon.
Police were called 1009 Pacific Avenue, which is listed online as the Pacific Food Market, for a report of a shooting and found two men suffering from gunshot wounds, according to a statement from the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office and the Atlantic City Police Department. It was unclear if the men were shot inside or outside the business, which could not immediately be reached for comment Monday.
The men were both rushed to a local hospital, where one of them, 19-year-old Malae Johnson, of Mays Landing, was pronounced dead, the office said.
The status of the other man was not released by the agencies.
No suspects were named and no arrests were announced.
The shooting remained under investigation and anyone with information was asked to contact the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office at 609-909-7800.
