PATERSON, N.J. (AP) - Authorities have made an arrest in the fatal shooting of a food delivery driver in Paterson.
Quadir Whitaker is charged with murder and weapons offenses in the Oct. 4 death of Petra Rhoden.
The 43-year-old Paterson woman was shot several times in her car on a dead-end street while making a late-night delivery. She continued driving after she was shot but ultimately rammed through a fence and crashed into a shed.
Authorities have not disclosed a motive for the shooting or how the 34-year-old East Orange man became a suspect. It wasn’t known Tuesday if he’s retained an attorney.
