"It may even be domestic-related at this point. So we believe the shooter specifically targeted this male," Chief Joe Bartorilla of the Middletown Township Police told the media Thursday evening.

The search for the suspect continued into the evening. The suspect is described is an African American male. He was last seen wearing green pants, dark colored jacket, and was holding a black and white bag. The firearm was a handgun, possibly a revolver, investigators say.
