Jaheem Glaze was captured without incident in East Orange early Friday by a strike team composed of Paterson police, Passaic County prosecutor’s detectives and members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, authorities said.

Glaze was sent to the Passaic County Jail, where Rasheed Thomas, 19, has also been held in connection with the killing following his arrest last month.

Both are charged with murder and weapons offenses, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Paterson Police Chief Ibrahim Baycora said in a joint release.

They didn’t say whether detectives believe one or both men fired at Elijah Wilson, who was found mortally wounded at the corner of East 18th Street and Fulton Place shortly before 3 a.m. Sept. 11.

Wilson was taken to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 5:59 a.m.
