A Lakewood man has been arrested and charged for his role in the shooting of a four-year-old Asbury Park girl, said Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni.

Physicians treating the child have deemed the injury as serious, but non-life threatening.

A joint investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and the Asbury Park Police Department revealed that Jackson rode up on a bicycle and began firing a handgun at several people located outside of an apartment.  The child was just playing outside and was not the intended target.  A second person returned fire at Jackson; however that person has not has not yet been identified.
