Man Sentenced For 2017 North Brunswick Murder

NORTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — A Piscataway man was sentenced to 65 years in state prison Thursday after police said he stalked and fatally gunned down a North Brunswick man who was dating his ex-girlfriend.

The stunning murder happened on Mother's Day 2017 at an apartment on Birchwood Court in North Brunswick Township.

Police say that Jerome Davis, 43, of Piscataway previously stalked and harassed the victim, Patrick Olarerin, who was dating Davis’ ex-girlfriend.

On May 14, 2017, Davis entered the home of the victim's North Brunswick home and fatally shot him. Olarerin was 57 years old.

In May of this year, Davis was found guilty by a jury for first-degree murder, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and burglary for entering the home of the victim.

He was sentenced Thursday to 65 years in state prison for the murder. It is subject to the No Early Release Act, which means he will have to serve 85 percent of his prison term before becoming eligible for parole.
