Hackensack, NJ – A month-long investigation into a terrifying neighborhood shooting has ended with a Jersey City arrest and the seizure of multiple firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
Kenneth G. Chin, 42, of Hackensack, is facing a litany of felony charges after police linked him to a March incident where a bullet was fired through an apartment window while a vehicle was idling in a local driveway.
The Incident: A Shot Through the Window
The investigation began on the evening of March 16. According to Hackensack Police, a suspect parked in a driveway on Broadway just before 8:00 PM. A single round of 9mm ammunition was fired through a residential apartment window.
