Gerard Jerry Carpinello Jr. was wounded in a shooting at a Millstone, New Jersey home in the early hours of July 10, 2022, and died of those injuries on July 29, 2022. Carpinello, 49 and from Portland, Pennsylvania, had been visiting the Woodville Road residence of 71-year-old David A. Bulk when shots were fired shortly after 3:15 a.m. State Police found Carpinello at the scene with severe gunshot wounds and he was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

David A. Bulk was taken into custody at the scene and initially charged with attempted murder; after Carpinello died the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office upgraded the charges to first-degree murder and a second-degree weapons offense. Bulk was released following his initial arrest, then re-arrested at his home without incident by local and federal authorities. The investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone was in or near the Woodville Road area that night or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please come forward.
