The two deceased victims were identified as 30-year-old
Kevin Elliott and 25-year-old
Asia Heste. The other victims were between the ages of 19 and 35 and remained hospitalized, with several in "dire" condition.
Authorities have made one arrest in the case and are looking for more suspects. Officials believe the shooting was a targeted attack, though it is unclear if the two deceased victims were the targets.
"This was not a random act of violence. This was a targeted attack," New Jersey State Attorney General
Kevin K. Dawkins, 36, lives down the street from the home and was taken into custody. He is facing several gun charges, including unlawful possession of a weapon, unlawful possession of a large capacity ammunition magazine, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
