The 17-year-old suspect from Garwood — a son of a retired police officer and the nephew of the Westfield police chief — was charged Wednesday with the first-degree murders of Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas.

Relatives of Niiotis said the teen had been stalking her for months — something the teen suspect acknowledged on livestreams of his MLB co-op games, which attracted thousands of followers on TikTok.

Guy shared a much closer cultural tie to Tyler Robinson than he did with the people he killed. From a family involved in law enforcement, from a culture of guns and hate. Unlike Tyler Robinson, the guy will probably get the George Zimmerman treatment because it's not where it's coming from but whom it affects. US in a nutshell.
