PATERSON — Police have identified the two men whose bodies were found Friday morning in a car belonging to a member of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" cast.

Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes said the two have been identified as 27-year-old Aaron Anderson and 25-year-old Antonio Vega Jr. Valdes said both deaths were ruled homicides.

UPDATE: 2 arrested in Paterson double-murder

The two men were found in the car, owned by Kim DePaola, and according to TMZ they had been shot and badly burned. The TMZ report said DePaola's son Chris Camiscioli was taken to an airport last weekend in the car, and that a friend had the car while he was away. The friend was Anderson, according to ABC 7.

Authorities said Camiscioli had told them he had been unable to reach Anderson.

Before the formal identifications were made, Anderson's mother told NJ.com she believed her son was one of the people in the car. According to NJ.com, people in the area said they heard gunshots before fire engulfed the car.

 

Valdes asked anyone with information about the deaths to contact the tips line at 1-877-370-PCPO or send them to tips@passaiccountynj.org.
