The 56-year-old Somers Point man now faces up to 30 years in state prison when he's sentenced next year.

Authorities say Maisonet shot 26-year-old Christopher Romero several times, then fled on foot. Maisonet shot and critically injured himself a short time later but has since recovered from his wounds.

Authorities have described the shooting as domestic but have not disclosed further details about the motive.
