Suspect arrested getting off flight from Dominican Republic
PATERSON, N.J. – Customs and Border Protection agents took a murder suspect into custody as he stepped off a plane from the Dominican Republican at New Jersey’s Newark International Airport.
Authorities say 27-year-old Ubaldo Nunez was apprehended without incident Sunday night.
The Passaic County prosecutor says Nunez had fled to the Dominican Republic after shooting 31-year-old Francisco Maldonado on a street in Paterson in 2015. Maldonado died at a hospital.
Nunez is held in the Passaic County Jail, where he faces murder and other charges. He’s awaiting a pretrial detention court hearing.
