Alexander was wanted for shooting a man on August 3rd.

That victim, who was 22-years-old from Philadelphia, sustained a non-life threatening injury. The victim was shot during an altercation in the 3100 block of Pacific Avenue.

Alexander has been charged with aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and certain person not to possess a weapon. He was remanded to the Atlantic County Justice Facility.

A second arrest was made on December 11th when an investigation by detectives of the ACPD's Violent Crimes Unit led to the arrest of a 16-year-old male who was wanted in connection to a shooting that happened on October 25th. There, a 31-year-old man from Pleasantville walked into ARMC-City with a gunshot wound. The man said that he was shot and robbed in the 1100 block of Ohio Avenue. At the time of the shooting, the suspect was on the Home Electronic Detention System and wearing an ankle monitor.
