2nd man arrested in 2008 Lakewood murder
I posted an article yesterday about the arrest of a Blood gang member for the 2008 murder of a Toms River man. Now, authorities arrested a second man who they say ordered the murder of the 18-year-old victim. According to the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office, the second man, also a member of the Bloods street gang, recruited the defendant to murder the victim because he was concerned that the victim was cooperating with authorities concerning the February 2008 armed robbery of a Toms River sub shop. Interestingly, it looks the like victim and the second man participated in the 2008 armed robbery together. Then, since the defendant knew the victim was cooperating with authorities, he had him killed. For additional information, see the Asbury Park Press article entitled "2nd arrest in Lakewood murder".
