Brick, NJ teen is sentenced for father's deadly stabbing

BRICK — It's an 11-year sentence for a teenager in Ocean County, stemming from the stabbing death of his own father last winter.

A Superior Court Judge handed down the sentence to 15-year-old Ibrahim Khater, of Brick, and will remain under the custody of the juvenile justice commission, according to the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office.

He previously pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter.

On Jan. 16, police found 38-year-old Mohammed Khater, of Brick, with a stab wound to the right side of his abdomen, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said.

He died at a local hospital.

The teen also was sentenced in connection with two aggravated assault charges, as well as the throwing of bodily fluids at a law enforcement officer from incidents while he has at the Ocean County Juvenile Detention Center, according to Billhimer.

Where NJ's 'red wave' of the 2021 election was reddest

In 2017, Gov. Phil Murphy won the election by 14.1 percentage points, a margin exceeding 303,000. His re-election was much closer, an 84,000-vote, 3.2-point victory. He and others talked about a ‘red wave’ of Republican voters in the electorate, and certified results show which counties turned red most.
