NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—Police announced they apprehended two individuals in a December 27 streetfight involving guns, knives, and bats on French Street, and days later charged them with a shooting that injured one man on Livingston Avenue on December 24.

Meanwhile, a man who escaped injury in that shooting, has been charged with another shooting incident from four months ago, that left a man shot in the abdomen outside a city motel.

Those are just some of the revelations in a two-page press release from the NBPD that publicized three shootings and the streetfight for the first time.

All but one of the incidents in the press release went by without public notification, or coverage in the press. Only a shooting on January 5 had been covered by New Brunswick Today, thanks to a tip from a reader

Below are the five incidents covered in the significant announcement:

August 31 shooting at Howard Johnson's Motel that injured one man

December 24 shooting at Livingston Avenue near Ellen Street that injured one man

December 27 brawl on French Street near Suydam Street that injured two men

January 5 shooting on French Street near Baldwin Street that injured one man

January 6 shooting on Rutgers Street near Livingston Avenue that damaged one car

Fifteen minutes after midnight on December 27, police say a large fight erupted between a crowd of people on French Street, including two who police would later charge with the December 24 shooting on Livingston Avenue.

According to police radio transmissions, a witness described a group of six men, one with a gun and another with a machete, chasing another person.

"Witnesses reported seeing individuals involved in the fight carrying, knives, guns, and bats," reads the January 7 NBPD press release.

Authorities said two men from New Brunswick, ages 18 and 21, received non life-threatening head injuries in the melee, "most likely… from a strike with a bat or similar object."

"Police were quickly on-scene at this incident and arrested five individuals, along with the recovery of two handguns," reads the release.

But, according to police radio transmissions, it was not until 12:38am that police located and pulled over a white SUV near Route 18 thatmatched the description of the vehicle the suspects fled in.

After the incident, charges were filed against all five men in the van:

17-year-old juvenile whose name has not been released

21-year-old Erik Perez

21-year-old Miguel Barragan-Espana

19-year-old Raul Barragan-Espana

20-year-old Luis Trujillo-Hernandez

All five men were charged with:

two counts of Weapons Possession (firearms)

two counts of Possessing Defaced Firearms

Aggravated Assault

Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose

According to police radio transmissions, both victims were "highly uncooperative" and sufferred traumatic injuries. An officer on-scene indicated the incident was likely "gang-related."

Six days later, authorities charged Perez and the 17-year-old juvenile with the Livingston Avenue shooting.

Police hinted that the December 24 incident was drug-related, and eventually ended up filing attempted murder charges against one of the targets of the shooting.

"Interviews with the victims and witnesses suggest the shooting stems from an ongoing feud between the victims and suspects," said the police press statement.

Around 1:24am on the morning of Christmas Eve, police say that Alfonso Dolores-Mendoza, a 22-year-old city resident and his friend Alex Camarillo, a 21-year-old city resident, were "in that area with the intent to purchase illegal drugs."

"While Camarillo was out of the vehicle driven by Dolores-Mendoza, [Perez and the 17-year-old] approached the vehicle and shot multiple times, striking Dolores-Mendoza in the shoulder," reads the statement.

On January 2, detectives charged Perez and the 17-year-old, whose name is being withheld, with the shooting. Both were already in jail after the French Street brawl where two other young men were injured.

Perez and the juvenile were charged with:

Attempted Murder

Conspiracy to Commit Murder

Possession of Weapons for an Unlawful Purpose

Unlawful Possession of Weapons

Camarillo was not injured as a result of the December 24 shooting, but Dolores-Mendoza sufferred non-life-threatening injuries, according to the statement.

However, authorities have now charged Camarillo in a previous shooting, where he allegedly fired a gun into a crowd outside the Howard Johnson's Motel on Route 1, striking a 21-year-old city resident in the abdomen.

That incident happened more than four months ago, around 3:20am on August 31.

On January 6, detectives charged Camarillo with:

Attempted Murder

Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose

Unlawful Possession of a Handgun

Certain Persons Not to Possess Weapons

"The preliminary investigation suggests that Alex Camarillo was at the party earlier in the evening and became involved in a dispute with some of the other attendees," reads the police statement. "He left and returned a short time later; firing shots into the party crowd."

It is not immediately clear if Camarillo is a fugitive or if he has been arrested, but police nabbed Perez and the 17-year-old involved in the shooting that injured Camarillo's friend after the brawl.

Police also announced the details of two unsolved crimes, including the shooting that damaged a vehicle just one block away from the December 24 shooting, and another incident where a man was wounded by gunfire near a French Street restaurant.
