He was served Friday with the new charges, including conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder.

He was struck once in the abdomen.
Navail Washington, 22, and Shamar Jackson, 19, both of Galloway, are also charged. Washington is additionally charged with heroin possession and distribution.
Washington and Jackson were arrested Thursday and are now in the Atlantic County jail.
