A Jersey City man wanted for a shooting incident in Hoboken on July 1 was tracked down to Bayonne and arrested Wednesday, authorities said.

Anthony Ciprian, 19, was charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, bail jumping, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, Hoboken police Lt. Edgardo Cruz said.

Police from Hoboken and Bayonne arrested him on Avenue E at 10:55 a.m. and Ciprian ws taken to Hudson County jail.

"The effort put in by the assigned detectives was paramount in the closure of this case, sending a clear message that we will pursue violent offenders and make them accountable for their actions, no matter how long it takes to piece the case together or track the offender down," Cruz said.

Hoboken police responded to the area of Third and Harrison streets at 8 p.m. on July 1 on reports of gunfire, Cruz said. Police didn't locate any victims, but witnesses said a person got out of a vehicle and shot several times at a man and then fled.

Detective Michael Miranda and Officer Michael Losurdo continued the investigation and with the assistance of the Jersey City Police Department, issued a warrant for Ciprian on July 18, Cruz said.

A couple of weeks later, Losurdo received information that Ciprian could be hiding out in Bayonne, Cruz said. Losurdo, Detective Bret Globke and members of the Bayonne Police Department found Ciprian on Avenue E in the area of East 47th Street and arrested him, Cruz said.

After his arrest it was found that Ciprian also had an outstanding warrant from Jersey City for an assault charge.
