A man who allegedly shot a woman at a Route 22 motel, then carjacked a car and crashed into the Union County prosecutor is also wanted for a shooting in Newark.
UNION -- A man accused of shooting a woman at a motel, then carjacking a car and crashing into vehicles, including one driven by the Union County prosecutor, was previously being sought for a shooting in Newark, authorities confirmed.
Newark police said they have a warrant charging Quadree Frazier, 35, with aggravated assault for a shooting in that city.
Police said Frazier is wanted for a shooting at 244 Chadwick Avenue. Nobody was wounded in that shooting, but the date of that incident and details surrounding the shooting were not immediately available.
Court records show that Frazier has prior criminal convictions. In 2009, he pleaded guilty in Superior Court in Essex County to a charge of third-degree possession of a prohibited weapon. He was incarcerated for 14 months.
In 2003, he pleaded guilty to a charge of sexual assault in Essex County and was placed on probation for three years.

Union Township police said that on Wednesday, shortly after 1 p.m., Frazier was involved in a dispute with two women at a Route 22 motel, and that he fired a shot at one of the women.
Frazier then ran out of a hotel room, pistol-whipped the hotel manager to escape, and ran across Route 22 and into a parking lot of a Target store, where he carjacked a woman's car at gunpoint, police said.
He then allegedly drove east on the highway, struck a pickup truck, pulled into a parking lot and struck other vehicles, including one in which acting Union County Prosecutor Grace Park was sitting and talking on a phone, authorities said. Park was shaken up but uninjured, officials said.
The stolen car Frazier was driving then careened into the wall of a Halloween store and burst into flames, police said. Officers arrested him as he stepped out of the car, and firefighters extinguished the fire in the car.
First reports said a woman at the motel was grazed by the gunshot. However, police later said the woman was taken to Morristown Medical Center, where she remained as of Thursday, with a bullet in her shoulder. Police did not immediately return a request for information on her condition today.
As of Thursday, Frazier remained under police guard at University Hospital in Newark, where he was admitted for treatment of broken vertebra, a collapsed lung and other injuries. Police did not immediately return a request for information on his location and condition today.
He is being held on $600,000 bail charged with attempted murder, carjacking and weapons offenses.
