Authorities had been looking for Derrick E. Merisma after police were called to a Cedar Avenue apartment Oct. 18 on a report of a shooting. The 49-year-old victim had sustained a gunshot wound, authorities said. A 9mm handgun was found at the scene, authorities also said.
Merisma was tracked to Easton, Pa., where he was pulled over in a traffic stop last week. He is in custody in Pennsylvania pending extradition to New Jersey.
Anyone with information about this matter is still being urged to contact Linden Police Department Detective Maurice Rawlins at 908-474-8480 or Detective Matt Jones at 908-474-8556.
