JERSEY CITY -- A 24-year-old Newark man was shot on Union Street early Sunday morning, hours after two people were killed in separate Jersey City murders.

The victim was shot in the thigh just after midnight near Martin Luther King Drive, city spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said.

He was brought to Jersey City Medical Center for treatment and was released about an hour after the shooting. Morrill said the 24-year-old was uncooperative with police.

The shooting comes on the heels of two murders in Jersey City on Saturday.

A man was shot on Ocean Avenue early Saturday morning and died as he drove himself to Jersey City Medical Center, sources said. The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office has not yet released any information other than homicide detectives are investigating that shooting.

Then at about 10 a.m., 51-year-old Albanelis Vidal De Larosa was found dead, wrapped in blankets in front of a home on Reservoir Avenue. Her ex-boyfriend, Miguel Angel Cabrera Romero, 56, has been charged with murder in her death.
