A Range Rover stolen after a man was shot and killed in front of his wife Sunday evening during a carjacking at New Jersey mall has been found, police say.
The vehicle was found in Newark, its police department confirmed to Fox News, a city approximately 10 miles away from the scene of the shooting.
Authorities are still looking for two suspects who confronted the couple in the parking garage of the Mall at Short Hills in Millburn Sunday evening.

Short Hills is a very affluent suburb and a”Range Rover”is a very expensive SUV.Need I say more?
Let me guess..Justice for Trayvon?? Just some of Obama’s many many sons out for some good ol fashion clean fun
Ah, Hussein’s and Holder’s African Amish sons acting out again! How utterly unexpected....NOT.
A”Range Rover”isn’t on the list of”choppables”!They are TOO rare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was not in a bad part of town, he was in the Short Hills Mall parking garage in Millburn, NJ
You forgot Irvington
A more stunning piece of news would have been if the vehicle had been found anywhere other than Newark.
Those who aren't familiar with New Jersey may not be aware of this, but the 10-mile distance between the mall and Newark isn't of any consequence. The two locations are connected by a major limited-access highway, which makes the mall a target of opportunity for any mutants who can make their way out there from Newark.
If you go just west of the Short Hills mall on that highway, you'll pass through a section about 5 miles long between interchanges. When the state built that section of the road, the local towns in that area fought hard to keep them from building any interchanges in their towns ... because they knew that highway interchanges would attract mutants from places like Newark.
Why?
Any why does the choice of automobile have anything to do with a murder?
If those carjackers used an illegal gun or hollow point bullets to kill that guy, they’re going to be in really big trouble.
I'm sure the circumstances of the crime have prompted the police to leave open the possibility that this was a targeted killing that had nothing to do with the vehicle.
Over 20 years ago, we knew of car theft rings with shopping lists. The gangs would go out Rt. 278 from Newark, to the upper class suburbs and “shop” around.
The cars would go to Port Newark for export or into chop shops in Newark for breaking up into parts.
A lot of newer and more expensive cars have LoJack. The thieves don’t know for sure, so they will abandon the car in some out of the way place to see if the cops will locate it. If not, they might go back and pick it up later. Of course, the cops could keep the vehicle under surveillance and see who comes to pick it up, but in a place like Newark, the next person that tries to take it may have had nothing to do with the original carjacking.
High-end vehicles that are stolen like this are more likely to be kept fully intact and then transported out of the country in a shipping container less than 24 hours after they're stolen.
New Jersey is a sh!t-hole in many ways, but law enforcement is usually on top of these things. As soon as that situation went bad at the mall, those two mutants knew damn well that they had to abandon the vehicle because the police would be all over Port Newark/Elizabeth looking for it among the outbound container shipments.
It is a shame that people who have nice stuff have to worry about being killed because of it.
So that’s why it was abandoned? Sorry, if I sound dense!
Local NYC news last night did describe the perps as "African American".
Jersey is one of the most anti-gun states in the nation.....this is just another example why gun laws don’t work......citizens must arm themselves.
Ah so! Thanks for the explanation! Now, it all comes together for me. I own three cars but know absolutely nothing about cars!
It's not always obvious, but in New Jersey they actually do this. Car thefts are down considerably over the last couple of decades because of police tactics that might be considered questionable (at best). The "business people" who put the strongest pressure on government and police departments to do this aren't the owners of shopping malls where crimes like this take place ... they're the insurance companies that pay out millions of dollars in claims for stolen cars.
