*A man has been arrested in New Jersey on charges he critically injured two people in a shooting outside a Big Sean and J. Cole concert this week, state police said Thursday.

Cops on Wednesday tracked Quran Powell to East Orange, about 30 miles north of the PNC Bank Arts Center, where the concert was held, state police said.

Powell, 27, of Holmdel, faces two counts of attempted homicide plus weapons offenses, reports the AP.

Two men, ages 23 and 24, were shot multiple times Monday night in a parking lot. They were listed in critical but stable condition at a hospital.

State troopers used K-9 units and a helicopter to scour woods near the amphitheater, and a $5,000 reward was being offered for information leading to the shooter’s arrest.

A witness told the New York Daily News that he saw the two victims talking to a woman in the parking lot before the shooter approached and fired several shots.

Investigators developed information that led them to search Powell’s home Wednesday, where they learned he might be hiding in East Orange. He was arrested at an apartment there.

Powell was being held at Monmouth County Jail in lieu of $750,000 bail.
