NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Authorities have arrested a Union Township man on charges stemming from the robbery and killing of an 83-year-old man in Newark.
Authorities say 22-year-old Rashid Davis has a relative who lives in the Nevada Street apartment building where 83-year-old Leonard Pearson was found beaten and stabbed to death on Saturday.
Davis also is charged in a separate robbery in the same building that left two people injured last Thursday.
He’s held on $1 million bail.
It’s not known if Davis has a lawyer.
