EAST ORANGE, N.J. (AP) — Authorities in New Jersey says a 19-year-old Seton Hall University student died in an overnight shooting that injured four other people at a private party.

Essex County Prosecutor’s Office spokeswoman Katherine Carter says Jessica Moore died from her injuries at 3:20 p.m. Saturday. Moore had been hospitalized in critical condition after the shooting just after midnight.

Police say the shooter was a man who was denied access to the party, then left and returned with a handgun.

Police say that in addition to Moore, four others, who have not been identified, were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. One has since been released.

Police say the shooter remains at large. They’re offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s capture.
