Man Who Shot 2 Jersey Shore Teens, Killing 1, Caught In Philadelphia, Prosecutor Says

GALLOWAY, NJ — Authorities have captured the man they say is responsible for shooting two teenagers, killing one and injuring the other, last month in Atlantic City.

Louis Jackson, a 23-year-old from Galloway, was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon by the FBI and Philadelphia police in Philadelphia, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office. He was arrested on a warrant for the murder of a 15-year-old boy identified as J.S. and for the attempted murder of a 17-year-old boy identified as M.P., both from Atlantic City.

Shortly before 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 7, police responded to a report of shots fired on Arkansas Avenue, officials said. J.S. was found with multiple gunshot wounds and M.P. had a gunshot wound to the face, authorities said. J.S. was pronounced dead at the hospital; M.P. was treated and expected to survive, according to officials.

Jackson fled the scene before police arrived, officials said. The FBI tracked him to Philadelphia, where he was caught.

This case is currently being investigated by the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office’s Major
Crimes Unit and the Atlantic City Police Department Violent Crimes Unit. The F.B.I., Philadelphia and Atlantic City Offices, assisted.
