Suspect In Lakewood Officer Killing Faces New Murder Charge
LAKEWOOD, N.J. (AP) - Hours before the funeral of New Jersey police officer, the teenager suspected of shooting him to death was charged with a different murder.
Nineteen-year-old Jahmell Crockam already faces murder charges in the shooting death Friday of Lakewood Patrolman Christopher Matlosz.
On Thursday morning, as mourners were gathering in the church for the officer's funeral, authorities said that Crockam and another man were charged with the Oct. 15 shooting death of Justin Williams, whose body was found dumped on a street corner.
Information leading to the new murder charge was developed as police investigated the slaying of the officer Powell.
