MEDIA INFORMATION
March 15, 2005
U.S. Marshal for New Jersey James Plousis, Camden County Prosecutor
Vincent P. Sarubbi, New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Rick
Fuentes and Camden Police Chief Edwin J. Figueroa reported that the
U.S. Marshal's New Jersey/New York Regional Fugitive Task Force
today arrested a fugitive wanted for Conspiracy to Commit Murder in
Camden, N.J.
The defendant, Alejandro Irizarry, a.k.a. Alex Santana, was on the
Top 50 Fugitives list of the most violent and dangerous fugitives
from Camden. The investigation by task force detectives from the Marshal's
Service, Prosecutor's Office, State Police and City Police, as well
as the N.J. Department of Corrections, under the direction of Commissioner
Devon Brown, led to Irizarry's arrest today without incident at approximately
6 a.m. at a home in the 200 block of North 36th Street in Camden.
He faces up to 10 years imprisonment on the charge if convicted.
The charge stems from Feb.16, 2005, when Camden Police responded at
10:48 a.m. to 34th & Federal streets for a report of a man shot. Officers
arrived to find a 19-year-old Camden man who had been shot multiple
times. The victim was rushed to Cooper University Hospital, where
he was stabilized. A criminal complaint alleges that Irizarry conspired
with an unidentified man who shot the victim, apparently during a
botched robbery attempt.
The warrant resulted from an investigation by the Camden Shoot Team,
composed of detectives from the Camden County Prosecutor's Office,
Camden Police Department and State Police who focus on Aggravated
Assaults with a firearm. The investigation is continuing and an additional
arrest is possible.
Irizarry was being held at the Camden County Correctional Facility
pending the setting of bail.
All persons charged with criminal offenses are presumed innocent unless
and until proven guilty in a court of law.
