Jersey City developer Tony Deluco wants to do more than vent about the alleged shooters of a 43-year-old man near his workplace under the Pulaski Skyway on June 18. He is putting up a $1,000 reward for their capture.

"These scumbags need to be caught," DeLuco said. "What happened to that man was horrible, but they are on the loose, and someone can get hurt or killed."

The reward DeLuco is offering is for the person who provides information to the Jersey City police leading to the capture and arrest of the two men who allegedly tried to rob the victim, who was opening up his workplace around 6:30 a.m. The man was shot in the stomach and arm.

The victim, according to Jersey City Police, is still in critical condition at the Jersey City Medical Center.

DeLuco said he was prompted to do this by a tenant living in one of Deluco's buildings, Andy (offered no last name), who also works at the garage and actually arrived at the scene 15 minutes after the shooting.

The police are looking for two African-American males. One stands 5'9" to 6'0" weighing 190-200 pounds. He wore a light brown, warm-up suit. His accomplice stands 5'7 to 5'8 and wore a black, hooded sweat shirt. Both men fled the scene in a red, 4-door Ford Focus, circa 2003-2007.

Anyone with information about the shooting should contact the West District Detectives Office at (201) 547-5369 or the Major Case Unit at (201) 547-5716. - Ricardo Kaulessar
