FREEHOLD – A Neptune man is facing a murder charge following a Friday night shooting that left one man dead, officials said.

In a press release issued Saturday, Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago said Michael Westbrook, 41, of Neptune Township, was charged with one count of first-degree murder, along with second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and third-degree hindering his own apprehension, in connection with the death of Amad Jones, 41, formerly of Oceanport.

The Oceanport Police Department received a call at about 9:40 p.m. Friday reporting that someone had possibly been shot in the area of Gosselin Avenue in Fort Monmouth. There, police found Jones in the roadway with “a gunshot wound to his chest.”

Jones died of his injuries.

Shortly afterwards, Westbrook turned himself in at the Neptune Township Police Department headquarters, officials said.
