Alexander Neewilly, 22, said he was near the railroad tracks at Devins Lane when someone shot at his car, causing him to crash into the area of 914 W. Washington Avenue, damaging NJ American Water Company property. Neewilly then ran to the NJ Transit facility, according to the report. He was not injured. The incident is being investigated by Violent Crimes Unit Detective Sgt. Angelo Maldonado.
