A male victim and his friends went to a New Year’s Eve party with 20-year-old Joseph Edward Jaimes in attendance at a residence on Legion Avenue at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department. About an hour past midnight, the victim and a group of people were gathered outside having a conversation.
Shortly after, one of his friends, identified as “Dakota,” invited him into her vehicle because it was cold outside. The victim mentioned another female named “Kailey,” allegedly Jaimes’s girlfriend, was also in the car. The three were talking when Kailey got out and walked to the victim’s black BMW, the report said.
