A Sicklerville man has been taken into custody following a shooting that occurred in the early morning hours of June 30 in the Borough of Glassboro, according to a statement released by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office.
Authorities say 20-year-old Lavonta Moore was arrested after an investigation linked him to a shooting incident that took place near Rowan Boulevard as police were clearing a large crowd from the area.
A single gunshot was fired during a reported altercation, striking a victim in the pelvis. The victim was transported to Cooper Hospital and remains in stable condition.
Responding officers located a 9mm handgun without a serial number near an open vehicle door on Rowan Boulevard, along with a discharged shell casing.
A wallet containing Moore’s identification was also recovered from the vehicle.
Surveillance footage and police body-worn cameras captured a confrontation between two groups, including the victim and Moore. During the incident, Moore was seen retrieving an item from the vehicle, pointing a handgun, and firing a shot before fleeing the scene.
Moore was apprehended and remains held at the Salem County Jail pending a detention hearing. He is scheduled to appear in Superior Court on July 12.
The investigation is ongoing. 
Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact Gloucester County Detective Alex Phillips at (856) 384-5529 or Glassboro Police Detective First Class Sean Aitken at (856) 881-1501 ext. 88161.
