SOMERVILLE – A Hillsborough man will remain in the Somerset County Jail after he was charged with attempted murder in a shooting at a Franklin hotel on New Year s Day.
Nahshawn Thomas, 20, is also facing a weapons charge in connection with the incident at the Somerset Lofts Hotel on Cedar Grove Lane. Superior Court Judge Anthony Picheca ruled Wednesday that Thomas will be detained in the county jail until the charges are resolved.
According to Somerset County Assistant Prosecutor Amanda Frankel, Thomas and the unidentified victim, a New Brunswick man who is a college football player, had been involved in an argument inside the hotel and had agreed to settle the dispute in the hotel s courtyard.

The first thing Peter Davey remembers after being hospitalized for a severe brain injury is being deeply paranoid.
“I didn’t know where I was, or how I got there,” he said. “I couldn’t speak and I was terrified.”
On Sept. 5, 2019, Davey was admitted to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital New Brunswick (RWJUH) after a hypoxic brain injury, which resulted in a lack of oxygen flow to the brain. Gaurav Gupta, associate professor and director of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, did not think Davey would survive after the lifesaving surgery. If he did, Gupta couldn’t promise that he would be able to regain the ability to walk, talk, read or write.

Shemitz) Feb. 24, 2021 Catholic News Service WASHINGTON When health care chaplains talk about the need for self-care, they really mean it, especially after this past year. That s because they have been on call to provide emotional and spiritual support to patients, families and medical staffs in ways beyond what they had ever prepared for when the coronavirus hit the United States last February and since it just surpassed the death toll of 500,000 this Feb. 22.
