3 Dead in Execution-Style Killings in Newark (NJ)
No punishment is too harsh for this person.
Three of them -- Terrance Aeriel, 18, Dashon Harvey, 20; and Iofemi Hightower, 20 -- were forced to kneel against a wall and were shot at close range.
The fourth, 19-year-old Natasha Aeriel, Terrance Aerial's sister, survived a wound to her head and is hospitalized.
Authorities have said robbery appeared to be the motive.
