Lakewood Police said 20-year-old Christian Grimes allegedly fired a .40-caliber handgun into a concrete sidewalk near Martin Luther King Drive and Center Street around 9:45 p.m.
Captain Greg Staffordsmith said 19-year-old Yadae Marrow was hit by shrapnel and drove herself to Ocean Medical Center in Brick. She suffered minor injuries to her legs and was treated and released.
