An Atlantic City man has been convicted in a 2021 fatal shooting and could face life in prison. According to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office, a jury on Friday found 49-year-old Umar Abdullah guilty of first-degree murder, second-degree unlawful possession of a handgun, and second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. A judge also found him guilty of first-degree unlawful possession of a weapon by a prior offender and second-degree certain persons not to have weapons. The case stems from a shooting at about 4:00 a.m. on October 10, 2021. Atlantic City police officers and Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office detectives responded to the Cassino Hotel boarding house on South Georgia Avenue in the Ducktown section of Atlantic City after reports of a man being shot. First responders tried to save 35-year-old Mark Wright of Atlantic City, who had been shot three times, but he died from his injuries. Authorities said the investigation uncovered surveillance footage showing Abdullah leaving his second-floor apartment in the Cassino Hotel with a handgun, firing four shots at Wright, and then fleeing. A warrant was issued for Abdullah's arrest. After a five-week search, he was found at a home in Egg Harbor City and taken into custody. Abdullah is scheduled to be sentenced on August 5 and potentially faces life in prison. The state was represented at trial by Executive Assistant Prosecutor Rick McKelvey and Assistant Prosecutor Brooke Melissa Hoffner.
