Grand jury indicts alleged Atlantic City Walk killer

  • News
The Somers Point man accused of a fatal shooting in an Atlantic City outlet store
was indicted by a grand jury on charges of murder and weapons offenses. Luis Maisonet, 55, had been hospitalized after the Sept. 1 shooting inside Zumiez, where the 26-year-old victim, Christopher Romero, was a manager. He allegedly shot Zumiez, then ran across the road to White House|Black Market, and shot himself inside before an off-duty Bellmawr police sergeant reportedly wrestled the gun away. The charges include receiving stolen property for the handgun. Maisonet could notĀ have a gunĀ under a previous domestic violence order. Maisonet was still hospitalized for his first appearance in September, but is now in the Atlantic County Justice Facility on $1 million full cash bail.
