EDISON – A 61-year-old Keasbey man has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a 72-year-old Edison resident at a Clive Hills Road home on Sunday.
Igor Kirilenko was arrested on February 17 without incident and charged with first-degree murder and second-degree possession of a firearm for an unlawful purpose, Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone announced.
Kirilenko is currently being held at the Middlesex County Adult Correctional Center in North Brunswick as he awaits a detention hearing.
Authorities responded to a home on Clive Hills Road near the Metuchen border around 6:39 p.m. on February 16 after receiving a 911 call from Gregory Ginzburg, who reported that Kirilenko was in his home with a gun.
Upon arrival, officers found both men—Ginzburg suffering from a gunshot wound and Kirilenko unharmed, Ciccone said.
Ginzburg was pronounced dead at the scene.
