Prosecutors on Tuesday did not release other details about the investigation including the motivation for the attack.

"He was someone's baby that was taken in a way that no one ever deserves," according to a GoFundMe campaign supporting Pacas's memorial service. "It feels like the whole world around us is aching for him. We are aching for him to come back. That's how much he was loved and still loved."

New Jersey 101.5 did not know Tuesday whether Echeverry or Guerrero had attorneys.
