The 27-year-old victim was found wounded near the High Gate on Absecon Boulevard by police responding to a ShotSpotter alert just before 11 p.m. Dec. 5.

He was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus, where he was pronounced dead.

Council died of a single gunshot wound.

Two Atlantic City teens have already been detained in the case.

Oquan Thomas, 18, and a 17-year-old juvenile were arrested within days of one another shortly after the shooting.

Surveillance footage shows muzzle flashes from the area where three suspects were during the shooting, BreakingAC previously reported, quoting the affidavit of probable cause.

The third defendant was not named in the affidavit, which said the suspect were seen running into an apartment in Carver Hall.

ShotSpotter captured 23 rounds fired in the area, the affidavit states.
