New Jersey police have been searching for a 20-year-old man accused of shooting and killing his 19-year-old girlfriend over the weekend.
Jamar I. Webber has been charged with first-degree murder and two related weapons offenses in connection with the death of Malikah Taylor.
Webber was being actively sought on Monday evening. Since the photo seen above was taken, he also got a forehead tattoo of the initials “LV,” police said.
Anyone who encounters him should consider him potentially armed and dangerous and immediately call 911 instead of approaching him, Ruotolo said.
Union Police responding to a home on Melrose Parkway near the corner of Hillcrest Terrace North early Sunday morning, where they found Taylor unresponsive and suffering serious injury from a gunshot wound, according to the prosecutor.
Taylor was taken to Newark’s University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead shortly before 8 a.m.
Law enforcement at the local, county and state level identified Webber as the main suspect, Ruotolo said.
He has been known to frequent Newark, in the area of South 17th through South 20th streets along Clinton Avenue, Ruotolo said.
