Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey said a 32-year-old Bayonne woman was charged with fatally stabbing another Bayonne resident in Woodbridge.
Amarlis Calderon, 32, was charged with murder and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose in the death on July 18, 2016 of Pablo Caamano, 33.
Bail was set at $500,000 for Calderon, who is being held at the Middlesex County Adult Corrections Center.
During the investigation, it was determined that Calderon, who was walking on Randolph Avenue in Woodbridge, stabbed Caamano when he drove by and stopped to pick her up. The couple knew each other.
Calderon got into the vehicle and the couple headed toward Interchange 12 on the New Jersey Turnpike, where they pulled to the side of the road. Caamano was pronounced dead at the scene.
It was incorrectly reported on July 18, 2016, that the victim was on Randolph Road when he was pronounced dead.
Calderon initially was being held in lieu of $75,000 bail after she was charged with two counts of hindering police by lying to investigators and for disposing of a knife.
She also had been charged with tampering with evidence for discarding the knife.
The New Jersey State Police initially were alerted on July 18, 2016 at 3:20 a.m. and responded along with members of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office.
The investigation is active and is continuing.
Anyone with information is asked to call Sgt. Robina of the New Jersey State Police at (609) 947-6024, or Detective Marchak of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office at (732) 745-3254.
