Just a day after a fatal shooting, an East Orange man was arrested and charged with the murder of a Jersey City woman, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said.
Thaddues Williams, 37, was arrested Saturday night around 7:10 p.m. in the area of Carnegie Avenue in East Orange. Williams is facing multiple charges including murder; possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose; unlawful possession of a weapon; and criminal sexual contact for “touching the victim inappropriately,” Suarez said.
The incident happened Friday night around 8:30 p.m. The Jersey City Police Department reported to the area of 217-219 Martin Luther King Drive on a call of shots fired.
Aieshia McFadden, 36, of Jersey City, was found “unresponsive” with a gunshot wound in her torso, Suarez said. McFadden was transported by Emergency Medical Services to Jersey City Medical Center.
She was pronounced dead on Friday at approximately 9:10 p.m., Suarez said.
On Saturday, Williams was transported to the Hudson County Correctional Facility in Kearny pending his first appearance.
The Regional Medical Examiner’s Office is looking into the cause and manner of death.
Suarez credited the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit, the JCPD and East Orange Police Department with the investigation and arrest. HCPO’s Homicide Unit and JCPD are actively investigating the case.
