HACKENSACK, N.J. - A West New York man who is a suspected gang member has been arrested for attempted murder and illegal weapon charges arising out of an incident in Hackensack.
Manuel A. Falcon-Lopez, 22, of West New York, New Jersey was arrested late Thursday night for attempted murder and illegal weapon charges as a result of an investigation conducted by members of the Hackensack Police Department, under the direction of the Officer-In-Charge Thomas Padilla, with assistance from the county's Gang Unit.
The arrest is the result of a year long investigation that began on April 19th, 2009, with a shooting in the City of Hackensack, New Jersey. According to witnesses, a group of individuals approached 59 Campbell Avenue and one member of the group fired three shots from a handgun in the direction of several individuals that were gathered in front this residence. The group then fled the scene.
None of the individuals in front of the residence was hit by the gunfire.
It is believed that the shooting stemmed from a long standing feud between the New York and New Jersey factions of the Dominicans Don't Play (DDP) street gang. Manuel Falcon-Lopez is a suspected member of the gang.
Falcon-Lopez was arrested at 10:30 p.m. on Thursday night, May 27, at the Home Depot on Bloomfield Avenue in Clifton, New Jersey, where he has reportedly worked as a stock room clerk for the past year.
Bail for Falcon-Lopez was set at $50,000.00 with no 10% cash option. He was remanded to the Bergen County Jail in lieu of bail.
