STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A man and woman were caught with a loaded gun and ecstasy pills in a parking lot at Faber Park in Port Richmond, authorities allege.

Shawn Morris, 37, of Stockton Street in Rahway, New Jersey, was behind the wheel and Karerja Gonzalez, 36, of Rumpler Court in Port Richmond, was a passenger in a black, 2018 BMW 530i when they were apprehended on Richmond Terrace between Faber Street and Sharpe Avenue at 11:27 p.m. on April 17, according to the criminal complaint.

Police were responding to a ShotSpotter activation in the area when they caught the defendants with their alleged contraband in the parking lot at Faber Park, according to multiple law-enforcement sources.

The arrest was touted on the X feed for Patrol Borough Staten Island.

Inside the BMW, officers found a black, 9 mm Glock pistol loaded with an attached magazine containing nine bullets and a second magazine stocked with nine bullets, the complaint alleges.

Officers allege they confiscated 67 multi-colored pills of ecstasy.

The criminal complaint states that the defendants were apprehended in “a sensitive location, namely, the public parking lot of a public park.”

Situated on the banks of the Kill Van Kull, Faber Park is a popular daytime destination for families with children.

“With playgrounds, courts, a skate park, an outdoor swimming pool, Faber Park offers Staten Islanders a place to enjoy the outdoors at the waterfront,” according to the city Parks Department website.

The defendants have been charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm, rifle or shotgun in a sensitive location, criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a controlled substance and possession of ammunition.

Morris is being held at Rikers Island in lieu of bail set at $200,000 bond/$100,000 cash. He was due to be arraigned in state Supreme Court in St. George on Friday, according to public records.

An attorney for Morris did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Gonzalez is being held at Rikers Island in lieu of bail set at $50,000 bond/$25,000 cash. Her case also is being transferred to Supreme Court and information about her attorney is not available at this time, according to public records.

A picture of a gun, bullets, two magazines and pills stamped with stars was posted by Patrol Borough Staten Island on X, formerly known as Twitter.

A spokesperson for the city Parks Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
