Stabbing Suspect Captured At Jersey Shore: Police

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ — A man wanted for attempted murder has been captured and taken into custody, Wildwood police said.

Police had been searching for Terrance Dore, 43, since the crime on Sept. 10. He was found in Atlantic City on Sept. 24 at about 4 p.m. where local police took him into custody without any incident, police said.

Dore, charged with attempted murder, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon after "a finding of probable cause," now sits in the Cape May County Correctional Center, police said.

On Sept. 10 just before 9 p.m., police responded to a residence at 100 West Poplar Ave. for reports of a stabbing victim.

Police and members of the fire department found the woman who had been stabbed about two blocks away with multiple stab wounds on her upper body, police said.

Wildwood Rescue immediately performed life-saving measures and took her to Atlantic City Medical Center, police said. Police did not share her current status.

Police discovered that a possible suspect had barricaded themselves inside Apartment 1A at 100 West Poplar Ave., authorities said.

Members of the Cape May County Regional S.W.A.T. Team responded and set up a multi block perimeter to ensure public safety, and members of the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office Crisis Negotiation Team also responded, police said.

Eventually the subject inside the apartment, determined to be a witness, left safely and was detained for investigative purposes, police said.

During the investigation, a court authorized search warrant was executed on the apartment and DNA evidence was collected and submitted for analysis, identifying Dore as the suspect, police said.
