On August 23, 2023, Marcus Seda, 27, of Atlantic City pleaded guilty to first-degree attempted murder, second-degree possession of a firearm for an unlawful purpose, and second-degree aggravated assault.

Seda’s plea to attempted murder calls for a 10-year state prison sentence subject to the No Early Release Act, which requires Seda to serve eight and one-half years before he is eligible for parole.

Once paroled, Seda will be subject to five years of intensive parole supervision by the Department of Corrections. His pleas to unlawful firearm possession and aggravated assault call for concurrent state prison terms of five years and three years respectively.

Seda admitted he fired six gunshots into a vehicle with the intent to kill the driver in Pleasantville, NJ on October 14, 2021. Investigators linked Seda to the shooting after finding that he had left his cell phone at the scene before fleeing. He pled guilty to second-degree aggravated assault in a second case, admitting that he fired a handgun in Atlantic City on December 17, 2021, with the intent to seriously injure the intended target.

These cases were investigated by the Pleasantville Police Department and Atlantic City Police Department, respectively.

Sentencing is scheduled for October 4, 2023 before the Honorable Pamela D’Arcy, J.S.C. Seda will remain in the Atlantic County Justice Facility pending sentencing.
