Newark

A man who admitted killing his wife-to-be and her dog because he was ashamed to tell the woman he'd lost his job was sentenced to more than three decades in New Jersey State Prison.

A “pyramid style prescription scam” run by a couple and their nephew stole $880,000 through insurance claims by NJ Transit workers, according to prosecutors.

He's the first cardinal in the U.S. to ever be criminally charged with a sexual crime against a minor.

A Roselle man also has admitted to his role in the woman being held at gunpoint in August 2019, while parked on a Newark street.

Oliver Tzarax-Lopez, 21, is accused in the beating death of 37-year-old Nohora Agudelo last summer.

Officer Elijah Melvin from the Newark Police Department is today's honoree, as a young girl is alive thanks to his efforts.

A Newark man took a fire department vehicle for a joy ride and crashed it 20 miles away, officials said.

The man tossed the cash bundle the packet was slipped in with, making off with $2,300 on Saturday, Newark police said.

Police accused a 22-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl of the shooting that injured a nine-year-old. The teen already was linked to a June carjacking.

Officer Elijah Melvin's used his own personal experience to stop a teen girl from jumping off a roof.
