Princeton Police Department detectives, led by Detective Travis Allie, were led to Pitman after recovering and processing evidence at the scene, as well as working with surrounding area police departments.

Pitman, 37, is a resident of Florence, N.J.

Last week, Pitman was arrested for allegedly shooting a woman at the Academy Woods Apartments on Cedar Lane, according to The Times of Trenton. The victim was taken to a Trenton hospital but was released shortly afterwards.

Bail was set at $50,000 full cash only, and Pitman was released to the Mercer County Correctional Center after failing to post bail.
