The victim, identified as a 25-year-old Newark man, was shot shortly before midnight near Fairmount Street and South Orange Avenue, officials said in a statement. He was treated for non life-threatening injuries at University Hospital.
Members of Newark’s Fugitive Apprehension Team arrested Chambers, Ambrose added. Police did not disclose a possible motive for the shooting.
