NEW BRUNSWICK – No arrests have been made in three separate violent crimes in the city that calls itself the Heart of New Jersey over the weekend.
Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone said her office is investigating a shooting in New Brunswick Sunday morning in the area of Remsen Avenue and Seaman Street around 10:20 a.m. A man was shot and hospitalized in critical condition.
Rutgers University police also reported a shooting Saturday night near the intersection of Easton Ave and Prosper Street after the occupants of two vehicles argued and someone fired a gun, a witness told police. No injuries were reported.
The violent incidents began Friday night when two people wearing ski masks broke into an apartment near the intersection of Hamilton Street and Louis Street and stole personal property, according to Rutgers University police.
Three people “affiliated” with Rutgers University were threatened and the home was ransacked, but no one was injured, according to police.

Omicron’s Impact on New Jersey COVID Cases
As the COVID-19 pandemic approaches its third calendar year in New Jersey, some things have remained true (hand washing, tips for vaccinating), while others have evolved alongside the latest variant (fewer treatments with monoclonal antibodies, new anti-viral pills).
Where New Jersey’s ‘red wave’ from the 2021 election was redder
In 2017, Governor Phil Murphy won the election by 14.1 percentage points, a margin of more than 303,000. His re-election was much closer, a victory of 84,000 votes and 3.2 points. He and others spoke about a ‘red wave’ of Republican voters in the electorate, and the certified results show which counties turned red the most.
