ASBURY PARK — A man was shot early Wednesday morning in Asbury Park, authorities said.
He is the 18th shooting victim in the city this year, according to statistics from the city.
Police are continuing their investigation into Wednesday morning?s shooting in Asbury Park Village on Atkins Avenue, as well as two other incidents involving gunfire that occurred Sunday in the city: a case in which a man was shot and another case of reported shots fired, according to Charles Webster, a spokesman for the Monmouth County Prosecutor?s Office.
Police are also investigating a Saturday night shooting in Neptune, he said. His office had initially said Saturday?s shooting also happened in Asbury Park, however, Webster on Wednesday morning said that information was incorrect.
Around 2:50 a.m. Wednesday, city police got multiple 911 calls about the shooting. When police arrived at the housing complex, they found a 28-year-old man who had been shot, authorities said.
He underwent surgery at a local hospital and his condition is not known as of yet, according to Webster.
Around 10 p.m. Sunday, a 20-year-old man was shot on the 700 block of Emory Street in the city, Webster said. That man was treated at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune and released, he said.
Around 1:50 a.m. Sunday, police received a report about shots fired in the 600 block of Second Avenue in Asbury Park, but no victim was found, Webster said.
On Saturday, around 8:30 p.m., a 31-year-old man was shot on the 2000 block of Milton Avenue in Neptune, Webster said. He said that man was also treated at Jersey Shore and released.
In Asbury Park, there have been three fatal shootings this year and 15 other people have been wounded, according to city statistics.
There have been eight other cases of confirmed shots fired.
Webster said there have been no arrests in the four latest incidents in Asbury Park and Neptune, and all four remain under investigation.
