Five Plainfield men and one Plainfield woman were among group of more than a dozen who chased victim as he ran down Grove Street into North Plainfield before being killed

NORTH PLAINFIELD, N.J.-- Five men and one woman -- all Plainfield residents -- but only two Green Card Holders among the six, were recently indicted for the brutal murder of a young man that took place last summer in the borough.

All six remain in the Somerset County Jail on pre-trial detention, for allegedly killing (and/or in connection with related crimes) Nelson Noe Garcia-Lopez, 24, who resided in North Plainfield.

While NJ News Jersey has learned that only two of the alleged murderers held Green Cards, the immigration status of the other four, including one woman, is “Department of Homeland Security Immigration Detainer – Notice of Action.”

Of the two men who hold Green Cards, one obtained his this year, and the other in 2013. Those two are, Oscar Ivan Baquendo-Martinez, 23, and Patricio M. Piruch-Nekta, 25. The other three men and the woman, apparently illegal aliens, are: Cesar A. Carcamo-Ortega, 25, Nelson S. Aguilar-Lopez, 20, Alder E. Juarez, 22, and Gicsy B. Galindo-Acosta, 22.

Somerset County Prosecutor Michael H. Robertson, Chief of County Detectives John W. Fodor, and North Plainfield Chief of Police William Parenti, stated that on November 13, 2018, a Somerset County Grand Jury returned an indictment in relation to the homicide of the victim, according to a November 16 news release.

Robertson stated that on August 16, 2018, police received a 9-1-1 call just after 2 a.m. regarding a stabbing in the area of Grove Street in North Plainfield, NJ, near the Plainfield border.

“Initial responding North Plainfield police officers found the victim suffering from stab wounds. He was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead,” reads the release.

“Detectives from the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes and Crime Scene Units, the North Plainfield Police Department, and medical investigators from the New Jersey Northern Regional Medical Examiner’s Office responded to conduct the investigation. The post-mortem examination revealed that Garcia-Lopez had been stabbed multiple times throughout his body and the manner of death was deemed a homicide.”

Robertson noted that detectives with the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office, and the North Plainfield Police Department were assisted by members of the Plainfield Police Department as well.

Authorities determined that the victim, “while walking alone on West Front Street, passed a group of approximately fifteen individuals (when) several eventually began to (him) on foot as he ran down Grove Street into North Plainfield.”

By Aug 29, two of the six allegedly connected with the killing of Garcia-Lopez, both listed as living on West Front Street in Plainfield -- Aguilar-Lopez and Galindo-Acosta (the female) -- were captured then arrested by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Texas (along with the FBI). They were trying to make it to Mexico before being apprehended, and the arrest took place near the Louisiana border, stated officials.

That brought the total number of arrests to five, as Aguilar-Lopez was charged with murder and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and Galindo-Acosta was charged with hindering apprehension in the investigation of the slaying. Aguilar-Lopez and Galindo-Acosta were extradited to New Jersey.

On Aug. 24 another man, also among the homicide suspects, Piruch-Nekta, a Green Card Holder since 2013, according to his immigration status, obtained by NJ News Jersey, reportedly turned himself over to the North Plainfield police department.

The Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office was assisted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Newark, under the direction of the Special Agent in Charge, Brian Michael, in identifying and locating Aquilar-Lopez and Galindo-Acosta.

According to Garcia-Lopez’s autopsy, he had been stabbed multiple times, added officials. However, no motive has been released due to preserving the integrity of the investigation, which is ongoing.

Officials concluded that as a result of conducting numerous interviews and reviewing surveillance videos from the area, the five Plainfield men were identified as being a part of the group that chased down, assaulted, and killed the 24-year-old man.

Officials reminded the public that they are required by court rules to state that all “charges are merely an accusation and that the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty,” added the release.

MIDDLETOWN, N.J.--Gov. Phil Murphy laced up his running shoes on Sunday morning and headed to Bodman Park to run Jersey Shore Running Club’s (JSRC’s) annual Navesink Challenge 5K.

Murphy, 61, who lives less than half-a-mile from the starting line, said he’s never run the Navesink Challenge 5K in the past, but recalled running “the 15K at Bayshore Middle School a couple years ago” with his family, who also joined him on Sunday to tackle the scenic country roads featuring hilly sections through properties in Huber Woods, and along Cooper/Browns Dock Roads.

“Very special,” he said of the event, and corresponding sunny day. “(And) it’s right here where we live in Middletown.”

Crossing the finish line in 29-minutes, 39 seconds -- averaging nine and-a-half minutes per mile -- the governor scored third, out of 11, for the 60 to 69 age bracket, or 192nd place of 416, overall.

“The Navesink Challenge is celebrated for its location along one of the prettiest courses in Monmouth County, through the woods and back roads of Navesink, stated JSRC.

The day includes two races: A challenging 15K run that began at 10 a.m. and the 5K run/walk that started 10-minutes after the 15K. Both courses were out-and-back, with one turn around.

Proceeds from the Navesink Challenge benefit Middletown Youth Athletic Association, Monmouth Conservation Foundation, and local first responders, among other nonprofits, noted JSRC, adding that its event has raised more than $120,000 for its beneficiaries, since 2010.

WALL, N.J.--NJYP is so much more than a web design and online marketing firm. But first, here is their back up story!

Thirty five years ago Robert Hankh was working his way through night school as a landscaper. In order to find customers Robert would create his own flyers and then go out placing them on cars and at homeowners doorsteps. Robert wanted to advertise with Yellow Pages but found it to be far too expensive, $400 to $600 per month, out of his range. At the time he had no idea about someday starting a marketing company of his own.

What was in the forefront of Robert's interests was his dream of working in the field of Aero Space Technology. He landed his first job at GE Aerospace as an Aero Space technician where he worked for four years until eventually the company was sold out.

Robert had heard about a position at GES Internet which had advertised in the Princeton Packet. What this company did was experiment with and generate IT connections from colleges to colleges, initially Princeton University to Rutgers University, through the use of a primitive laboratory computer. Working on these projects for about four years gave Robert a glimpse of the future, long before AOL. He was actually inspired to start his own internet company. His idea was to connect towns throughout NJ together online and have vendors of the towns connected to his online town websites for visibility to town residents.

In fact Robert continues to tell www.NJnewjersey.com reporter that his own claim to fame at the time was that he hand-developed the first town website which was in Chester, NJ and then continued on to develop town websites for such communities as Bordentown, Hightstown, and Union. Some of the first events posted were such postings as PTA meetings, and basketball schedules. Eventually Robert was able to connect vendors to the website for exposure of their shops to the homeowners of the town and other local people who were utilizing the website.

“ Soon AOL came along with their mass mailing. And that was my cue to go into town vendor areas and introduce myself. I would speak to the vendors and tell them that this would be a viable way to get viewership and tell a story to homeowners close to you about your services via the town website.” So, Robert would introduce himself to the vendors and in this way brought on about 200 accounts.

“ Then along came 9/11 and that recession hit my customers very hard, the internet was not that well developed back then and I lost about 30 percent of my customers.” Robert knew he had to go into survival mode! “ I had to formulate a solid marketing strategy that was going to last and so I said to myself …… “why not connect my customer’s customer to my customer through the internet with valid permission marketing.””

It dawned on him that enough customers were going into the shops he was putting on to make it all worth while for the vendor. “ So what I would do is set up an email collector and then I would reconnect the customer to the customer’s website through the website and I was always asking them to please refer my customers links to neighbors, friends and coworkers.”

Another proud “Claim to Fame” for Robert is that he collected the very 1st valid local e-mail for use in permission marketing.

Permission based marketing turns out to be the lowest cost and most highly-effective form of advertising. “To this day it’s the anchor which makes our customers satisfied because we are reconnecting them to their clients so that their customers have the opportunity to send our customers' links to their neighbors, friends and coworkers.”

Robert explained it this way, “So, we have a bakery, a tuxedo shop and a car dealership all in the same town, not at all competing with one another but having a unique set of local emails that are valid. Then why not create a local directory which will be a benefit to all three businesses!”

Thus, Robert was able to create a local link for further viewership with a positive benefit to all his clients. “Between those two things: valid permission marketing and local links, my clients started to stay with me and I was growing my business quite successfully.”

“Beyond that, social media marketing came along, posting things of interest on local social networks which further enhanced services (such as promos being given to customers) at a very competitive cost far less than any other traditional marketing. Again, our clients were quite happy with that.”

“So now we have valid permission marketing, social networking, local linking, organic SEO managed pay for click SEO, site management and high end website design, which makes our company stand out far beyond our competition and positions NJYP.com as the default company in NJ for high-end web design with a marketing plan attached to it. Beyond the social network, we also do online video and drone production. We call our complete package ‘Cyber Fusion’.” NJYP does all that with the focus on customer satisfaction at a far less cost than any traditional marketing company, magazine or newspaper ad.

“A large percentage of our clients are with us for over 10 years and some over 20 years! We are now looking forward to joining forces with a public relations firm as well and NJYP.com is considering going national. Through years of trial and error which we have been closely monitoring results to see what works and what doesn’t work and through time and effort we have been able to fine tune our game plan.” Robert continues.

“The business has been so streamlined and fine tuned that it has become difficult for other businesses to compete with us. Results have been such that clients call us with testimonials such as "We have more than doubled their revenue since starting with our marketing program" Of course our testimonials are viewable on NJYP.com. "When NJYP.com has explosive growth like that for our customer that’s the best testimonials we can possibly have.”

Jeana Yoon, Robert Hankh’s partner and wife, who is originally from South Korea, is a computer programmer previously employed at ATT and IBM. Jeana describes herself as having grown up having an extremely strong work ethic, which is part of her culture.

Together for over 15 years, Jeana and Robert have formulated and developed strategies for their company to grow, focusing on complete customer satisfaction, ensuring that all client needs are met in very quick time. Jeana controls all the project management systems with the staff, each of whom are highly specialized in specific areas. Jeana refers to the staff as the A TEAM, each member highly trained and specialized in specific areas to ensure all details are communicated clearly. NJYP is an agency that provides many different services under one company without outsourcing. That is very important, stated Jeana, “because we keep all communications and customer needs all linked up in one unit”.

Robert and Jeana agree that their work is not work but rather satisfaction and joy! NJYP’s reputation stands on its own. In closing the interview, Robert summed up, “our best gratitude is that our retention rate is quite high for a client base of our size and our passion is to make sure our customers know we care about them, we do what we say we are going to do for them and we are at the right price point for them. With that, the business takes on a life of its own, as long as we follow very high ethical standards — that is what NJYP.com prides itself on doing.”
