Moshe Ehrlich is charged with endangering the welfare of a child after he left the baby alone in his vehicle for an extended period of time, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said.

At 1:45 p.m., Lakewood police responded to 5th Street and found a 4-month old infant inside a vehicle in distress, Billhimer said. First responders attempted to render lifesaving aid to the infant, and he was transported to Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus in Lakewood, where he was pronounced dead, Billhimer said.

On Thursday, March 20, 2025, Ehrlich surrendered himself to Lakewood Township Police Headquarters and was transported to the Ocean County Jail, where he is currently lodged, Billhimer said.
