A 72-year-old man, Gregory Ginzburg, was fatally shot inside his Edison, New Jersey home after a 911 call in which he reported an armed intruder. The call ended abruptly when a loud noise, believed to be a gunshot, was heard. Responding officers found Ginzburg on the kitchen floor with a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

A 61-year-old man, Igor Kirilenko of Keasbey, was at the scene and was identified by Ginzburg during the call. Police say Kirilenko tossed an item believed to be a handgun onto the kitchen table and, while being escorted from the home, kicked Ginzburg’s body and said he wanted to make sure Ginzburg was dead. A witness in the kitchen told investigators Kirilenko entered through a rear door and shot Ginzburg. At the hospital for evaluation, Kirilenko allegedly said he hoped he had killed him.

Kirilenko was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and second-degree possession of a firearm for an unlawful purpose; he was held at the Middlesex County Adult Correctional Center pending a pre-trial detention hearing. The relationship between the two men and a motive remain under investigation. Did anyone in Edison know either man or see activity near Clive Hills Road that evening?
