Info from Union Leader:
Ira Cohen, 64, shot 24 year old Mason Pereira twice in the abdomen over the Black Nissan that was pictured in the photos of the scene from the news. The black Nissan was registered in Cohen's name as he leased it for his girlfriend. He met his 27 year old girlfriend two years ago when she was an exotic dancer at a motorcycle club. He has allegedly spent over $250,000 on her between apartments and cars and such.
Twist...
Mason and this girl are also involved. They have been off and on over the last few years. She was taking the car to an appointment and Cohen decided that he wanted to get the car back so he followed her. He brought a Ruger with him but did not state why. He got into the car and began to drive off with it. This is when Pereira and his brother took off after him. They had a struggle at Hanover and Maple and then Cohen fired the gun, hitting Pereira in the abdomen. He shot him again and reportedly threatened to shoot Pereira's brother as well.
Pereira was last listed in serious condition. He had to have surgery and it is unclear as to whether he will be left paralyzed from the shooting or not. The bullets went through his kidney, his liver, and his spinal cord. He stated that he could not feel his legs when police arrived on the scene.
Cohen is facing up to five felony charges at this time.
