PLAINFIELD, N.J. (AP) - Authorities say a woman critically injured in a New Jersey shooting that killed a man who had survived an earlier shooting has now died of her injuries.
The Union County prosecutor’s office on Monday identified the woman as 25-year-old Shavonne Young of Scotch Plains.
Prosecutors said Plainfield officers responding to a ShotSpotter gunshot notification early on June 24 found her and the male victim with gunshot wounds. Thirty-four-year-old Michael Welsh of Plainfield was pronounced dead about an hour later at a hospital.
