Just received from the Essex County Prosecutor's Office:
At approximately 2:20 this morning, a fatal stabbing of a woman occurred at 492 Park Ave. Apt.12 in East Orange. The victim has been identified as Bobbie Harris, 38, of East Orange. She was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:57 a.m. Detectives from the East Orange Police Department and the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office have a suspect in custody.
UPDATE:
Terrence Brooks, 37, of Plainfield has been arrested. Brooks, the boyfriend of the victim, has been charged with murder and weapons offenses. Bail has been set by Essex County Superior Court Judge Michael Nelson at $400,000; Brooks is expected to be arraigned on Wednesday, April 9.
Detectives believe the motive behind this homicide resulted from a dispute between the couple.
I hope the perpetrator is caught and fed to hungry white sharks.
