ATLANTIC CITY — A father was found shot and killed Tuesday night, nearly eight years after his brother died in another shooting that remains unsolved.
Atlantic County Prosecutor Jim McClain said Hunt was found dead just before 11 p.m. in the 900 block of North Pennsylvania Avenue.
A ShotSpotter gunshot-detection system registered multiple shots in the area at about 10:58 p.m. At 11:04 p.m., another alert for multiple shots came from the 1000 block of Mediterranean Avenue, about four blocks away. There were no reported injuries from the second shooting.
Friends and family expressed shock online Wednesday as the family was burying its only remaining son. A friend, Jameelah McNair, said Hunt was a son, brother, uncle, nephew and, most of all, a father. Hunt leaves behind four children.
The article says Hunt’s brother, Maurice Hunt, was killed in a July 18, 2007 shooting that remains unsolved. Maurice Hunt was found shot five times in the parking lot of the West Bar in Galloway Township shortly after 3 a.m. No arrests have been made in that case.
According to the article, this was Atlantic City’s third homicide of 2015, matching the total for each of the previous two years at that point in the calendar. The article also said shooting incidents with victims were down that year compared with the same time the year before.
The Major Crimes Unit and Atlantic City police were investigating Hunt’s killing. Anyone with information was asked to contact Major Crimes or Atlantic City police.
