At approximately 9:01 p.m., patrol officers responded to the Ocean Casino parking garage for a report of a man who had been shot. When officers arrived, they found 41-year-old Robert Phillips, from Atlantic City, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his lower body, police said. Officers provided medical assistance to Phillips and obtained a description of the suspect.

Within minutes, officers found the suspect, identified as 55-year-old Ronald Rivers, from Atlantic City, attempting to flee the area and placed him under arrest in the 100 south block of New Hampshire Avenue. A handgun that was reported stolen from South Carolina was recovered during the arrest.
