Shooting victim sought in Atlantic City gun case


  • News

An Atlantic City man who was just released from prison in April has been arrested in two shootings.

Now police are looking for one of his alleged victims — who is accused of brandishing a gun at his attacker minutes before the shooting.

Marcus Seda, 25, was arrested Tuesday in the 1100 block of Arctic Avenue after an investigation led to a warrant in a shooting four days earlier.

Police were called to the 1000 block of Atlantic Avenue by a ShotSpotter alert just after 11 p.m. Friday, Lt. Kevin Fair said.

A short time later, police were told that Rumeijah Norwood arrived at the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center’s City Campus with a gunshot wound, according to the report.

An investigation by the Violent Crimes Unit led to Seda. Detectives also determined that Norwood had pointed a handgun at Seda about 10 minutes before the shooting, Fair said.

After his arrest, Seda was additionally charged in an Oct. 19 shooting that wounded a 57-year-old man in the 2500 block of Camarotta Terrace just after 5 a.m.

Seda was released from prison in April, after serving about two years of a five-year sentence on several gun charges.

Seda had three pending weapons cases when he was arrested in January 2019 with a gun. He was sentenced to five years in prison that July, Department of Corrections records show. He was released April 24.

Seda is now jailed on two counts of aggravated assault, along with one count each of unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and certain person not to possess a weapon due to his prior criminal history.

Norwood, 28, is wanted on charges of aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and certain person not to possess a weapon.
