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.

If you shopped there in the 70’s, then you remember it as an outdoor mall.
Short Hills, NJ is hardly the slums, but 10 miles or so east on Rt 78 is Newark. Short Hills Mall is high end retail (Tiffany, Versace, Neiman Marcus).
Those Essex suburbs (including Milburn, Montclair, and a few others) wanted to secede from Essex County (County seat, Newark)a decade ago. Several of these municipalities (Montclair, not Milburn where the Short Hills mall is located) are heavily Democratic and with a high minority population. But great majorities in each locality had had it with a county dominated by Newark and wanted out of Essex County, to join Morris County, one of the heaviest Republican counties in the State of NJ.
LOL @ “Pretty Much Alabama”, reminds me of parts of Michigan.
Other reports said he resisted. I think unless you had a gun and could easily draw it (and I wouldn’t do that in New Jersey because who wants to go to prison), you are better off just letting them take your car.
thanx. I never knew my in-laws were Philly trash. I thought they were Italian. Two beach houses in Wildwood.
BTW it’s a great map.
In New Jersey, I-278 is the short segment of highway near the Elizabeth/Linden border that connects Route 1 and Exit 13 of the NJ Turnpike to the Goethals Bridge.
I’m assuming they were also warning of the usual boy-murderers on the loose inside the mall - you know, the kids who kill because they ran out of acne medicine or were thrown off the debate team.
The news reports I've heard today indicate that it was found in a garage in Newark. From that photo it looks like it was found in a residential neighborhood.
This is where the law enforcement angle starts to get interesting. For better or worse, those parts of New Jersey are filled with non-violent criminals who manage to stay out of jail by being cooperative (quietly, of course) with the police whenever a high-profile crime like this brings serious heat on the neighborhood. The police know exactly who these people are, and they will roll them over to identify the two perps very quickly (if they haven't done so already).
A carjacking is one thing, but a murder in the parking garage at an upscale shopping mall will bring the kind of bad press and public scrutiny that would rival even an al-Qaeda terrorist attack.
It's a pretty old (and effective) method of solving crimes. I just thought I'd throw that out there ... for anyone who is wondering how someone like Al Sharpton has managed to keep his nose so clean over the years.
Zoominfo.com says he passed the NJ Bar in 2010 and was a patent attorney with experience in patent infringement and litigation. He had an BS. in mechanical engineering underlying the law degree.
The motive does not appear to be the car, to me. I think a look at his cases is in order.
I lived in NJ - Convent Station, Bradwahl neighborhood - in the 70s & 80s, but can remember going there a few dozen times in the early-mid-80s. Mostly to the Abercrombie-Fitch store. Sorry I didn’t clarify that. I seem to also remember a Marshall Field store there once upon a time, too; maybe I’m wrong. Also shopped at the Livingston Mall a few times.
I concur, went to college in the area like Alabama (Glassboro/now Rowan), lived in area of hipsters, nice white famalies, raised where clerks was filmed, lived where people from NY have lake house, and beach houses. That map accurately compartmentalizs the characteristics of NJ.
That’s hilarious!
Be on the lookout for two adult white males, approximately 40-50 years old, beards, wearing black, rimmed hats. One heard to refer to other as “Jacob”. Amish affiliation suspected.
I may have hesitated also, fearing for my wife’s safety.
Hoboken has become a mecca for high paid hipsters. I bet the household income was over 200K.
But I can’t blame the victim for resisting with his wife on the other side of the car.
AC, you are correct—I meant 280, not 278.
It has been many years.
