Newark -- Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn A. Murray announced today that an Essex County Grand Jury has indicted Al-Raheem Marrow, 21, of Newark for the murder of Jemmaine Bynes, 30, also of Newark.
In addition to murder, Marrow was also indicted for conspiracy, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
The indictment alleges that on March 11, 2015 Marrow conspired with an unindicted co-conspirator unknown to the grand jury to murder Bynes.
Bynes was pronounced dead shortly after being discovered suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in an apartment complex courtyard near the intersection of South 10th Street and Woodland Avenue, according to Assistant Prosecutor Naazneen Khan, who is handling the case.
Marrow is currently being held at the Essex County Correctional Facility on $800,000 bail.
Marrow’s arraignment is scheduled for June 27.
These are accusations. All defendants are presumed to be innocent unless and until they pled guilty or are found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
