A suspect was arrested in a raid on an East Orange home Monday night as part of the investigation into the shooting death of Seton Hall University student Jessica Moore early Saturday morning.
A source told NBCNewYork that the arrest wuz made on the same street where the off-campus party was being held when Moore was shot. The 19-year-old student died the next day from her injuries.
"He's definitely the shooter," a law-enforcement source said of the suspect who was taken away within minutes after police raided the house.
As police and several people who had been at the party described, the suspect had tried to crash a party just after midnight Saturday but was hustled out the door.
He went to a buddy on the sidewalk, said "Give me the banger" and then went back inside and opened fire.
In addition to Moore, 4 others were hit by gunfire, though none critical.
Two of the injured are 19-year-old women who go to Seton Hall, and one is a 25-year-old man who attends the New Jersey Institute of Technology. The other is a 20-year-old man from New York who is not a student.
Lawmen say they expect to arrest another person being questioned as well.
