New Brunswick Man Indicted in South Brunswick Murder of Alicia Martinez-Izaguirr

South Brunswick, NJ - A grand jury indicted a man Tuesday for the murder of 24-year-old Alicia Martinez-Izaguirr last summer in a South Brunswick parking lot.

Giver Quiroz-Vasquez, 25, stalked and then fatally shot Martinez-Izaguirr, who was his ex-girlfriend at the time, said Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey. Both lived in New Brunswick at the time.

It was a murder that stunned South Brunswick: The young woman’s death, at 24, was the first murder in the township since 2008 and the first murder by gunfire in more than 20 years.

Vasquez had borrowed a 2004 silver Volkswagen Passat from one of his friends and used the car to stalk his ex girlfriend, undetected, prosecutors said.

On the morning of June 24, Vasquez followed her to a parking lot of a company on Docks Corner Road in South Brunswick.

He shot her in the isolated parking lot at 7 a.m. that day, prosecutors said, and fled in the Passat, which later was abandoned.

Vasquez was traced to New Hope, Pa., where he was arrested just two days later, on June 26, prosecutors said.

He was indicted Tuesday for murder, stalking, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. Vasquez alternately goes by names Gilberto Juarez-Vasques and Erick Morales Sandin, authorities said.
