A Jersey City teenager is lucky to be alive after he survived a gunshot wound to his mouth this holiday. The 19-year-old was riding his bike at a park on Monticello near Bramhall Avenue around 9 p.m. when a man rode by and shot him with a small black automatic handgun from a distance of about five feet.
The young man told police he could only describe the shooter as a Black man, around 19-years-old. A friend, who was with the victim at the time of the shooting, told police he heard nor saw anything.
Police found a trail of blood beginning where the victim was shot, leading to where he was found in the Monticello Avenue vestibule of his grandmother's building. He was transported to Jersey City Medical Center with what doctors described as "non-life threatening" injuries.
