   FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP, N.J. (CBS) – One person has been arrested in   
   connection to a mass shooting that left two people dead and a   
   dozen injured at a house party in Cumberland County over the   
   weekend. Authorities charged 36-year-old Kevin Dawkins, of   
   Oklahoma, with multiple counts including prohibited weapons and   
   devices, possession of weapons for an unlawful purpose, unlawful   
   possession of weapons, and certain persons not to have weapons.   
      
   “This was not a random act of violence, this was a targeted   
   attack,” New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said.   
      
   Thirty-year-old Kevin Elliot and 25-year-old Asia Hester, both   
   of Bridgeton, were killed, and 12 others were hurt. The dozen   
   people who were injured ranged in age from 19 to 35. At least   
   one person was in critical condition.   
      
   Some have been released from hospitals while others “continue to   
   fight for their lives,” Gov. Phil Murphy said.   
      
   “This was a birthday party, a birthday party is supposed to be a   
   joyous event not a target for those hell-bent on inflicting harm   
   into a community,” Murphy said.   
      
   Troopers originally responded to a party at another residence in   
   Fairfield Township regarding noise complaints earlier in the day   
   Saturday. Officials believe the party dispersed around 11 p.m.   
   and some of those partygoers ended up at the birthday party on   
   the 1000 block of East Commerce Street in Fairfield Township,   
   near Bridgeton.   
      
   Just after 11:30 p.m., a trooper was completing a vehicle stop   
   in the area when he heard what he thought were fireworks or   
   gunfire. He immediately responded to the scene with troopers   
   from two other barracks in the area.   
      
   At the same time, the 911 dispatcher started receiving phone   
   calls related to the shooting. By the time troopers were on the   
   scene, many partygoers had already left, but police say at least   
   100 people were at the house party.   
      
   The homeowner was hosting a 90s-themed birthday party for a   
   nephew when gunshots rang out.   
      
   “It was carnage everywhere,” John Fuqua, whose nephew attended   
   the party, said. “They said the fire was coming from the woods,   
   then when they went to run to their cars, they felt like it was   
   coming that way. This was something set up like they trapped   
   them in that yard.”   
      
   A woman who attended the party with her daughter tells   
   Eyewitness News they heard at least 30 gunshots, and when they   
   tried to escape the home they had to step over people who had   
   already been hit.   
      
   Eyewitness News spoke with someone who knows the family who was   
   hosting the birthday party, and they say they’ve always been   
   kind and kept to themselves.   
      
   Murphy called the shooting “horrific.”   
      
   “This despicable and cowardly act of gun violence only steels   
   our commitment to ensuring New Jersey leads the nation in   
   passing and enforcing strong and commonsense gun safety laws,”   
   Murphy said in a statement. “No community should ever experience   
   what occurred last night in Fairfield.”   
      
   Since late last night, the @NJSP and county and local law   
   enforcement in Cumberland County have been investigating the   
   horrific mass shooting at a large house party in Fairfield   
   Township that attracted hundreds of party-goers.

   Attorney General Grewal confirmed that investigators recovered   
   multiple firearms and shell casings from the scene.   
   Investigators are working to determine where the firearms   
   originated from and whether they’ve been involved in other   
   recent crimes in the area.   
      
   Dawkins is being held in Cumberland County Jail pending a bail   
   detention hearing.   
      
   Authorities are seeking the public’s help for information   
   leading to additional arrests.
