Man Arrested in Connection with NJ Shooting After Phone Number Found on Gunman

A man has been arrested in connection to a New Jersey shooting that left six dead, including the shooters, after his phone number was discovered on one of the suspected gunmen.

The FBI arrested Ahmed A-Hady, 35, on Saturday after finding his contact information on one of the suspected shooters who opened fire on a Jewish market in Jersey City on Tuesday. He was charged with unlawfully possessing a firearm as a previously convicted felon.

Both suspected shooters, David Anderson, 47, and Francine Graham, 50, were found dead after a shootout with police. They killed four people, including a police officer, before succumbing to their wounds. The murders are being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism, and police believe the kosher deli was “targeted.” They also found that at least one of the gunmen had posted anti-Semitic messages online.

Authorities described a handwritten note found in the back pocket of Anderson that contained the phone number for A-Hady, as well as the address for a pawn shop about 35 miles away from the location of the shooting. A-Hady was convicted of attempting to obtain a controlled dangerous substance or analog by fraud in 2012, which banned him from owning firearms. Several handguns and rifles were discovered at the pawnshop, including “a large number of hollow-point bullets.” (Read more from “Man Arrested in Connection with NJ Shooting After Phone Number Found on Gunman” HERE)
