After the alleged shooting, Borough Police, in conjunction with the U.S. Marshals Service, conducted an intense investigation to locate Thompson, but failed to apprehend the suspect in New Jersey.

Though he was at-large at the time, Thompson was indicted March 6 in Trenton on 19 charges related to the alleged assault on both victims, according to the statement.
