A Range Rover stolen after a man was shot and killed in front of his wife Sunday evening during a carjacking at New Jersey mall has been found, police say.
The vehicle was found in Newark, its police department confirmed to Fox News, a city approximately 10 miles away from the scene of the shooting.
Authorities are still looking for two suspects who confronted the couple in the parking garage of the Mall at Short Hills in Millburn Sunday evening.

“Hubby tried to resist, and that can’t be tolerated.”
I saw this hitting the news to try to downplay the racial angle. While the “experts” say give up the car/wallet/phone/whatever, the guy had no idea whether or not they were taking the wife with the car. Twenty years ago my then-girlfriend had one of Obama’s sons try to get in her passenger door; apparently he wanted more than just the car. She managed to get away, but it was disturbing because it happened in an area where it was unheard of.
Read enough news stories, and you realize you may as well resist; too many of these people have been conditioned to hate you with a passion just because of the color of your skin.
Yup. I live in Morris. Essex dwellers don’t want to pay taxes for schools in Newark, Irvington, East Orange, and Orange, ...but they vote in lock step. They are starting to come here because of our schools and neighborhoods and ruining our neck of the woods.
Why was the man shot but not the woman?
Why was it abandoned and found soon after the shooting not that far away?
Very strange.
God Bless this woman and her child. I can’t imagine her grief at losing the father of their baby.
If you read all the posts here, it will come together for you.
Update: the husband had put the woman in the passenger seat and was returning to the driver’s seat when the gunmen appeared. His impulse, apparently, was to resist because his wife was in the car. With the high profile murder, it is assumed the killers abandoned it.
The vehicle carjacked is apparently a valued one overseas. Thieves steal it and deliver it to Port Elizabeth where it is shipped.
I’d like to know why no description of the perps has been released. There were several witnesses including the wives. For shame, Star Ledger!
Hey! Long time no replies. Hope all is good for you and yours.
Yes, everything going fine...Thanks for asking!
You have a beautiful family, BTW.
Of course my comment was subjective, we all have our preferences. I work in subprime auto finance, where part of the equation that tells what we will finance on a vehicle is the make and model of the unit financed. Rovers rank at the bottom along with stuff made by Chrysler that isn’t a Jeep, Jaguars etc. Cars with high repair, maint and ins. costs. Aside from that, any used car dealer will tell you they cross their fingers that nothing breaks on the unit before they sell it.
Keep in mind that ALL cars today are miles ahead in reliability from 25 years ago, they are all good. But per mile, the Rovers will leave you out a buck faster than just about anything.
Personally I don’t like driving them for their lumpy, overweight feel. The gas mileage blows too. FYI I grew up in the body shop business and have been a clean up crew, bodyman, technician, salesman, Finance Manager and General Manager at the dealership level before moving on to a finance company that solely works with used cars, so I know of what I speak. As we say in the car business “there is an ass for every seat” The car in my garage doesn’t score much better, but it makes me make the same smile my 78 Trans Am gave me when I was 19. And girls like it, so it makes sense to me. Cars aren’t always a rational decision. I just know Rovers are a lousy investment and I don’t like them.
That was what I was thinking. The wife a very probable direct witness was left untouched. This smells of a hit it just remains who wanted the lawyer dead. Does anyone know what type of law he practiced?
Friedland was a patent attorney, joining the intellectual property law firm Lerner, David, Littenberg, Krumholz & Mentlik in 2009. Friedland then became a project manager at Epic Mechanical, a firm devoted to analyzing “construction-related legal claims.” According to the Daily Mail’s interview with Jaime’s uncle, Epic Mechanical is a business owned by Dustin’s father, which Dustin “selflessly” chose to partner with, even though the work was not in the area of law on which he was expert.

Why was the auto not deliver to the docks but left abandoned in Newark early the next morning?
The story (not verified) is that once the murder occurred, the story changed from a, sadly, ordinary carjacking into national news. So, the car was ditched.
OK, now I understand. I had assumed, wrongly, that you were talking about the sociological aspects of the purchase of a Rover.
Back when we lived in Kenya you could purchase a used Range Rover for a relatively low price. Maintenance was part of the equation. The other was the thirsty V-8 gas engine rather than diesel. Of course, owning a 4 door Land Cruiser is the quickest way to get car-jacked in Nairobi.
I’ve owned the “feel good” Alfas, MGs and even a Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. Now I’ll stick with the Japanese “drive it forever” vehicles, Toyota, Mazda, Subaru & Honda.
I got 3 cars to do 1 cars job. 5Kmile C6 Z06 Vette, 1970 Opel GT street rod and a Pontiac Vibe GT with 220K. Between the 3 I have a classic car that goes like hell and gets 32 mpg and barely depreciates.
Maybe he had located some "body sized" voids in a cement contract....or maybe a couple of cement truck loads not accounted for.....or some bridge bolts that were not correctly heat treated ..(like the ones for the new Oakland bridge in CA).......just sayin.
Id bet you hit the nail very close to the center of the head.
could be there was a dispute with the ownership of the racksheed mamood Mohommad Construction company
