Where is Jared Alvin? Police Still Seeking Accused Teen Shooter

Easton police are still searching for Jared Alvin Jr., an 18-year-old with possible gang ties who is suspected of shooting a man in the neck over the weekend in the city's West Ward.

According to the Express-Times, police think Alvin is in the Easton area, possibly in the borough of Wilson. 

He has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, recklessly endangering another person and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and robbery. 

According to police,  the investigation began when an officer was flagged down Saturday around 11:28 p.m. by a man who told them he'd been shot.

Police are looking for a second suspect: a black man, age 20-23, with short hair, wearing a dark “puffy” coat, blue jeans and a backward hat.   

Alvin, who police say has gang ties, is considered armed and dangerous, and anyone who knows where he is should call 911 immediately.
