A man from Washington state is facing charges in connection with a tragic shooting incident that took place in Carteret, New Jersey. Gaurav Gill, 19, has been charged with murder, attempted murder, and weapons offenses after a shooting on Roosevelt Avenue in West Carteret on June 12 resulted in the death of one woman, identified as Jasvir Kaur, and left another woman critically injured.
