Union County Man Arrested For Double Shooting

A 21-year-old Elizabeth man has been arrested and charged for the double shooting that left one person dead and another injured last September.

Jihaad Holmes turned himself into authorities on Wednesday.

According to the Union County Prosecutor’s Office:

It was shortly before 6 p.m. on Monday, September 15, 2014 when police rushed to the area of Bond and Jackson streets in Elizabeth to find 32-year-old Michael Gibbs of Beverly, N.J. and a male Elizabeth resident suffering from gunshot wounds, according to Union County Assistant Prosecutor Bruce Holmes, who is prosecuting the case.

Gibbs subsequently was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, while the second victim was transported to Newark Beth Israel Medical Center for treatment, Holmes said.
