Fugitive Arrested for 2010 Brick Township Attempted Murder
According to the Ocean County Prosecutors Office, and the New Jersey State Police, Marciano Sanchez, 40, whose last known address was Queens, New York, a fugitive from justice relative to an attempted murder that occurred in Brick Township on November 29, 2010, was captured by the New Jersey State Police Fugitive Unit and New York/New Jersey United States Marshals Service Regional Fugitive Task Force, in New York City on October 2, 2024.
Sanchez, who had been on
New Jersey’s Most Wanted list, is currently lodged in Riker’s Correctional Facility, pending extradition to Ocean County, New Jersey.
On November 29, 2010, Officers from the Brick Township Police Department responded to the Community First Aid Building on Mantoloking Road for a report of a gunshot victim.
Responding Officers found a male victim with a gunshot wound to the face. The victim was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune for treatment of his injuries and subsequently released.
A thorough and extensive investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Brick Township Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, determined that Sanchez was responsible for shooting the victim.
On December 21, 2010, Sanchez was charged with Attempted Murder, Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon.
A warrant for Sanchez’s arrest was issued on that date, and his name was entered in the National Crime Information Center database.
“After nearly 14 years, Marciano Sanchez has, at long last, been captured and will be returned to Ocean County to face justice.
The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office is extremely grateful for the efforts of our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners for their unwavering pursuit of this individual, and for all the work they do – day in and out - to keep our communities safe,” Prosecutor Billhimer stated.
