2 New Brunswick Teens Stabbed, Shot Man, Prosecutor Says

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — Two New Brunswick teens are accused of fatally shooting and stabbing a New Brunswick man on July 29, said the Middlesex County Prosecutor.

At 8:31 a.m. on that day, police responded to the area of Comstock Street and Joyce Kilmer Avenue following the report of a shooting.

Upon arrival, officers located Omar Maroquin-Levya, 25, of New Brunswick who sustained apparent gunshot and stab wounds. Maroquin-Levya was transported to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

Police say that two teen young men, both 17 and of New Brunswick, stabbed and shot Maroquin-Levya. At present, the murder does not appear to be a random act and the teens and the victim knew each other, said police.

The two teens were located Tuesday of this week in Irvington and taken into custody. They were arrested and charged with juvenile delinquency for offenses, which if committed by an adult would constitute murder and weapons offenses, said the county prosecutor.
