ELIZABETH, N.J. (Reuters) — The man suspected of randomly shooting two New Jersey candy store customers, killing one, after asking for a candy bar, died in a police shootout Friday, authorities said.
Authorities identified the suspect as Naquan Supreme Perry, 20, of Union Township.
"It's very evident that Mr. Perry is and was the individual who shot two patrons at the store Monday," Union County Prosecutor Thomas Manahan said at a press conference. Authorities also named Perry as the prime suspect in the Sept. 15 murder in Sterling, Va., of a 15-year-old boy.
