A Galloway Township man is wanted for allegedly leaving a man with life-threatening injuries in a March shooting.

Ashan Jackson, 19, is charged with two counts of aggravated assault, along with weapons offenses in the March 13 incident.

Police were  called to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus at 2:34 a.m., after a 29-year-old Pleasantville man showed up with a gunshot wound to the chest, according to the report.

The victim was not able to speak with police, as he had to be sedated and intubated after he arrived at the hospital, according to the affidavit of probable cause obtained by BreakingAC. The victim's name is redacted from the filing that was provided.

A ShotSpotter alert located in the system led police to Pennsylvania and Pacific avenues, where a spent .40-caliber Smith & Wesson shell casing was found, the affidavit states.

Surveillance video shows an altercation between Jackson and the victim, with the victim getting out of his vehicle and walking toward Jackson, the affidavit states.

The victim is seen with a black colored object in his hand, the report states. Jackson is then seen "removing his right hand from his jacket pocket and extending his arm, in a motion consistent with shooting  firearm."

This is where the spent casing was found, and ShotSpotter recorded a gunshot, the officer writes.

The victim runs back to his vehicle with his hand pressed to his chest, and drives himself to the hospital, the report states.

Police are asking for the public's help in finding Jackson.
