NEWARK (WABC) -- Four men are in custody in connection with last week's deadly carjacking at the Mall at Short Hills in New Jersey.
The four have been charged with murder, felony murder, carjacking, conspiracy, possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose. They are being held on $2 million bail each.
The suspects have been identified as 29-year-old Hanif Thompson, of Irvington; 31-year-old Karif Ford, of Newark; 32-year-old Basim Henry, of Newark; and 33-year-old Kevin Roberts, of Newark.
Dustin Friedland, a 30-year old lawyer from Hoboken, was shot in the head Sunday night inside the mall's parking garage.
Authorities found his SUV the next day about ten miles away in Newark.
Police say Friedland had just opened the passenger door for his wife and was about to get in the driver's side when he was approached by two men and shot. Witnesses described hearing three gunshots.
He was rushed to Morristown Medical Center, where he later died. The victim's wife was uninjured but was also taken to the hospital.
Authorities say the four suspects came to the scene together, and two of them fled driving the victims' vehicle. They have not revealed who fired the shots.
According to Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray, the attack was motivated by a desire to steal the particular vehicle, a 2012 silver Range Rover.
She attributed the arrests to "good old-fashioned police work" and leads from the public.

Chances are the police had finger prints on these four from the time they were 12 years old, reams of records, so it didn’t exactly take Joe Friday to figure out “who dun nit.” But they were out on the street, killing innocent people for a car. That’s the lousy state of affairs in NU and most states that don’t allow citizens to arm themselves for protection against predators.
oops....NJ, of course.
Good ol’ fashion police work? Any description of the perps yet? Guys with funny wide brim black hats, pants with suspenders, white shirts, black vests and beards. Smelled a little “horsey”. Typical amish? Regardless, glad the arrested somebody in this case of auto envy.
Facebook “Basim Henry”, from Newark NJ. A dreadlocked individual and his latest post is “Locked up but they can’t keep me down. Administrator wouldn’t let me post
This is great news.
The suspects have been identified as 29-year-old Hanif Thompson, of Irvington; 31-year-old Karif Ford, of Newark; 32-year-old Basim Henry, of Newark; and 33-year-old Kevin Roberts, of Newark.
Hanif, Karif, and Basim.
Just ordinary ole names...............
I wonder if they have any cousins named Trayvon?
Heaven be thanked the citizen was prohibited from keeping and bearing arms, or someone could have been hurt.
Let the victim’s dad have at’em.
It would be REALLY great news if they were tried, convicted and executed within the next two months.
Ive just called Al Sharpton/s.
Doesn’t matter who pulled the trigger. They should all get the death penalty.
We don’t need descriptions. Any American who lives in or near an urban area with a “diverse” population can guess. Sad, but true.....
I’m sure these are white Christians in blackface makeup, right?
What? No charge of a racial hate crime?
Video is a joke! Go here and you can actually see the mug shots of the killers:
Yup, all “Holder’s People!” Is anyone surprised?
