A New Jersey man whose number was found in the back pocket of
one of the perpetrators of last week's fatal attack on a Jewish
market has been arrested for illegally possessing a weapon,
federal authorities said.

Ahmed A-Hady, of Keyport, 35, was charged with being a felon in
possession of a firearm, the U.S. attorney's office said late
Saturday. A-Hady hasn't been charged with providing any of the
weapons used in Tuesday's bloody rampage in Jersey City.

David Anderson and Francine Graham killed Jersey City Police
Det. Joseph Seals in a cemetery and then stormed a kosher
supermarket, killing three people before being killed themselves
after a lengthy shootout with police, authorities have said.
Afterward, a note was found in Anderson's pocket containing a
telephone number and a Keyport address, according to authorities.

The number belonged to A-Hady, and the address was for a
storefront for a pawnshop, officials said. Records indicated
that A-Hady had bought two handguns in 2007 before being
convicted of a felony in 2012 that made him ineligible to own
firearms.

When authorities went to the pawnshop and interviewed A-Hady, he
acknowledged still owning the weapons but denied that they were
on the premises. But after receiving a tip about a safe,
investigators searched the business and A-Hady's home and found
weapons including three AR-15-style assault rifles, three
handguns and one shotgun as well as more than 400 rounds of
ammunition, “including a large number of hollow point bullets.”

Anderson and Graham were armed with multiple weapons including
an AR-15-style rifle and a shotgun, and a pipe bomb was also
found in the stolen U-Haul van they drove to the market. Two of
the weapons used by Anderson and Graham were bought by Graham in
Ohio last year, police have said. It's not known where they got
the three other guns.

No information was provided about any possible relationship
between A-Hady and the attackers. A-Hady is expected to appear
Monday before a federal magistrate; it's unclear whether he has
an attorney, and a message could not be left at a number listed
in his name.

CBS2NY reported that A-Hady’s brother said the family had never
heard of the suspects and the pawnshop didn’t sell firearms. “We
don’t sell weapons,” Adhem A-Hady told the station. “We never
sold weapons. The only thing that we have in the store is, like,
nunchucks.”

Authorities on Saturday announced the recovery of a white van
they said may be connected to the shootings, which are being
investigated as domestic terrorism. Authorities have said
Anderson, 47, and Graham, 50, had expressed interest in the
Black Hebrew Israelites, a fringe religious group whose members
often rail against Jews and whites, but that there was no
evidence so far that they were members and they are believed to
have acted alone.

In addition to Seals, the attackers killed Mindel Ferencz, 31,
who co-owned the grocery; 24-year-old Moshe Deutsch, a
rabbinical student from Brooklyn who was shopping there; and
store employee Douglas Miguel Rodriguez, 49, New Jersey Attorney
General Gurbir Grewal said last week.

A fourth person in the store was shot and wounded but managed to
escape, authorities said.

Anderson and Graham are also prime suspects in the slaying of a
livery driver found dead in a car trunk in nearby Bayonne the
previous weekend, authorities have said.
