TRENTON, New Jersey -- Police have arrested a sixth suspect in the Aug. 4 killings of three college students, authorities said.
The 18-year-old suspect, Melvin Jovel, was charged Saturday night and apprehended in Elizabeth early Sunday morning, Essex County First Assistant Prosecutor Carolyn Murray said.
About 10 officers from the Newark police department, Essex County Prosecutor's office and Immigration and Customs Enforcement made the arrest at about 3 a.m., prosecutors said.
Jovel is charged with murder stemming from the execution-style slayings of Terrance Aeriel, 18; Dashon Harvey, 20, and Iofemi Hightower, 20. Aeriel's sister, Natasha, was shot in the head but survived and has helped police in the investigation.
