On the morning of January 25, 2016, 19-year-old Victor Bernal sat in a car outside his family’s home in the Country Meadows Mobile Home Park in Millville, New Jersey, when a neighbor, Antwon D. McGriff, ran up, struck the car window with the butt of a handgun and fired a shot that entered Victor’s back. Neighbors called 911 and Victor was rushed to two hospitals; the wound led to an extended hospitalization and long-term pain. Tensions had been building between the households for weeks over a dispute that involved a claimed $500 repair bill and, according to Victor, an outstanding debt of a couple hundred dollars for marijuana.

McGriff at first denied involvement, later said he intended only to scare Victor by busting the window and claimed the gun discharged accidentally. Arturo Diaz, Victor’s stepfather, says he witnessed the shooting. A Cumberland County grand jury returned a seven-count indictment against McGriff, including first-degree attempted murder and multiple weapons and assault counts. Victor later signed a notarized recantation that he repudiated at trial, saying he signed it while struggling with addiction and because someone offered him money.

Does anyone have information about what happened that morning or the weeks of conflict beforehand?
