Four suspects arrested in the New Jersey murders of straight-A prep school graduate and a high school graduate... and one is a sex offender wanted in another double slaying

Four suspects have been arrested in the shooting deaths of two New Jersey teens - one a straight-A prep school student and the other a recent high school graduate.

Ali Muhammad Brown, 29; Jeremy Villagran, 19; Andre Fields, 31; and Eric Williams, 18, were arrested and charged separately in the deaths of Brendan Tevlin, 19, and 17-year-old Cheyanne Bond.

The two victims were killed in separate attacks in and around Newark, the largest and most-dangerous city in the Garden State.

Tevlin was reportedly shot dead June 25 in his SUV after being robbed of several items. He graduated from a local prep school with straight-A's and was attending Richmond University. His sophomore year was due to start later this month, according to NJ.com.

Williams reportedly stayed behind the wheel of a getaway car while Villagran and Brown had a conversation with Tevlin before firing eight bullets into him, authorities said.

'He was, at this time, a simple victim of an intent to rob,' Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn A. Murray said at a Monday press conference.

Brown is also wanted in the double murder of two gay men in Seattle, according to police. The registered sex offender was arrested July 18, and a gun found in the makeshift tent where he lived was linked to all three murders, said Murray.
The suspected triple-murder is being held on $5million bail at Essex County Jail.

A beautiful life snuffed out during the robbery of a little iPhone. The article states a second suspect is still at large, but doesn't give his name or show his picture.

An iPhone that she would have gladly given to them They didn't have to kill her for it

The Record: Mayors united
SEPTEMBER 15, 2014
LAST UPDATED: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2014, 1:21 AM

We applauded the mayors of the three largest cities when they stood shoulder to shoulder in July pledging to work more closely together to combat violent crime in their cities. We recall how gun violence over the summer in these cities savagely struck down both the innocent — Genesis Rincon in Paterson and Cheyanne Bond in Newark — and the brave, Jersey City Police Officer Melvin Santiago.

I thought there was also a thread on here for Genesis, but a search didn't find one.

A year after her lifeless body was found near Westside Park in Newark, Cheyanne Bond's family members say they knows less about the circumstances of her death than they thought they did when it happened.

"The man we thought (was responsible for her death) was let go," Bond's aunt, Stephanie Watkins, said in a phone interview Monday...

Authorities quickly arrested Irvington resident Andre Fields in connection with the crime, but dropped the murder and related charges against him in May... "The initial complaint was dismissed without prejudice at our request after a key witness became uncooperative," she added.
