At approximately 2 a.m. today, Orange Police responded to a call of a man stabbed in an abandoned house at 21 Oakwood Ave. in Orange. Upon arrival, police discovered the body of an unresponsive male victim, suffering from an apparent stab wound. The victim, 44-year-old Dana Cook, last living in West Orange, was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later. Detectives from the Essex County Prosecutor's Homicide Squad and Orange Police were able to track down the alleged suspect with the assistance of the Essex County Sheriff's K-9 Unit. Detective David Machette of the Essex County Sheriff's Office and his bloodhound "Molly" found the suspect hiding in a bush not far from the crime scene. The suspect has been identified as Amir Marshal, 40, last living in Montclair. He has been charged with murder, aggravated assault (on the victim's girlfriend), and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose (knife). Essex County Superior Court Judge Michael Petrolle has set bail at $750,000. The defendant is being held at the Essex County Jail and is expected to be arraigned on the charges next Wednesday. Detectives developed information that the crime resulted from a dispute between the two men. The investigation is continuing.

Good girl, Molly! I hope she was rewarded with lots of treats :)
That's one bad looking mother...
Anyone who wears his jacket inside his shirt can't be civilized.
I'm thinking: 'brain capacity of a crustacean'. Stupidity and diminished capacity are written all over this guys face and probably contributed to this violent end to two peoples sorry ass lives.
Good observation, Scuba. There's something about a jacket under a shirt that just ain't right.
