PERTH AMBOY, NEW JERSEY – Last week, a Perth Amboy man, Shannon Assing, 26, has been sentenced to 25 years in State Prison for the shooting death of 24-year-old Isaiah Spicer of Union. Union County Superior Court Judge Robert Kirsch imposed the term on Assing, requiring him to serve at least 85% of the 25-year term before being eligible for parole. Assing admitted to shooting Spicer in front of his ex-girlfriend's home. On November 4, 2021, Union Police Department patrol units responded to the 1200 block of Coolidge Ave and found Spicer with fatal injuries to his head and neck after an apparent execution-style shooting.
