Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey and Director Anthony A. Caputo of the New Brunswick Police Department said that one man was arrested today, and another is sought in the fatal shooting of a New Brunswick man last night.

On October 26, 2018, at approximately 8:00 pm, New Brunswick Police were alerted to a shooting in the area of Robeson Village. Police arrived to find Larenz Ogarro, 23, of New Brunswick, lying in a parking lot on Van Dyke Avenue, the apparent victim of multiple gunshot wounds.
