Late Monday afternoon detectives obtained arrest warrants for Rojas. The warrant was issued by the Judge Peter J. Vazquez. Bail was set at $500,000 by Judge Vazquez.

Rojas was charges with two counts of murder, possession of a firearm, two counts of possession of a firearm for an unlawful purposes and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.

Laurino praised Newark Police Officer Anthony Scala of the 2nd Precinct who was about to issue a summons in the area in an unrelated matter when he heard shots and responded.

"He was instrumental in identifying Rojas,'' Acting Prosecutor Laurino said.

The investigation is active and continuing.

puchi & g money were 2 ppls who had they own life but dnt do shit to deserve this as a year had past we still are rememberinq our loved ones. no disrespect but all yu are actinq immature riqht about now ! rip to g, puchi & nico

u still got more kings on summer ave out

MOST OF THESE POSTS ARE OBVIOUSLY FROM WANT TO BE GANG BANGERS THAT NEVER GRADUATED FROM 8TH GRADE. THIS IS TRU BY ALL THE NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE THEY WRITE WITH. DID YOU NOT LEARN TO READ AND WRITE TARDS?

WE ALL NEED TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS TWO ARE GONE AND ONE MIGHT BE GONE FOREVER LOST IN JAIL OVER WHAT GO A HEAD I WAIT..............................................YOU GOT IT NOTHING I KNEW ALL THREE THE L.K 'S AND 2NDAVE BEEN AT ODDS FOR YEARS NOW AGAIN OVER WHAT.... YOU GOT IT OVER NOTHING HALF OF YOU AINT EVEN FROM THE HOOD OR YA NOT REALLY FROM 2NDAVE OR THE KINGS DONT EVEN KNOW YOU SO JUST FALL BACK LET THIS GO LET THEM R.I.P AND JUST STOP TALKING STOP DONT BE A WANNBE STOP

look wats done is done j a good nigga dont 4get 7game deep in the building so all that bs ppl sayin they goin 2 get him the kings go 2 p.c thats a fact hold it down 2ndave all day no days off ya know me Q$B I BE HOME REAL SOON p.s we make movies out of u niggas

funny how people comment on our live and not knowing who we really are as we wrk go to school nd live our daliy lives our children that we raise the best of our abilityes people tht judge them with out really knowing them they live their lives on their own consaqunce not asking or talking to their parents now theirs 3 woman in pain because of our childern discison i been called many thing even been told that i was doing a bad job i gave my sons life to god since he was born but the world of demons and hell tht we live in took over their live 2 beried nd 1 dead lost in the world of suffering and pain. people commentting on our childerns life when no one really knowing what happen iif they were men the could of handeled their prolems differntly and my heart gose out to the mothers in pain R.I.P to the ones that lost the war

Rejects keep writing'...would that be you? He's just a suspect? Please make an intelligent point. Free J is BS and I'll tell you why. You have one 'friend' saying he's innocent and another homie saying he was there and they deserved it. To me, the most ignorant people posting are the ones who are backing dude's actions up. Another example, 'if they died they deserved it'..so I assume you now believe your boy now deserves to die? Shake your head yes cause that's the only correct answer. He will face his maker and I don't mean his mother. No one said Geraldo or Puchi were angels before but they are now. If you need to throw dirt, they're not here-go right ahead but understand you're only making excuses. So you can put all your $ together and you still won't have enough to save him. Get on your knees and pray because its a wrap. He might as well have turned the gun on himself but that takes more courage than he has.

HES JUST A SUSPECT ! HE WILL GET PROVEN INNOCENT!!!
SHUT THE FUCK UP EVERYBODY !! I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHO DIED .. THEY WERENT ANGELS ! IF THEY GOT KILLED ITS FOR A REASON ! NOBODY DESERVES TO DIE? THEY WERE IN THE STREETS THEMSELVES , ONE OF THEM ALWAYS HAD A GUN WAITING TO BUST SOMEONE IN THE ASS ! EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON ! IF THEY DIED , THEY DESERVED IT! OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE WOULD OF DIED CAUSE OF THEM .

This is the new facebook. Free Jay.

Listen people just move on already and stop making yourselves look and sound so stupid by posting non sentences and non words. Your street slang shpuld not be permitted on this site or any site.The dude killed two people! Enough said. Now he must pay the price. It does not matter that you knew him before he is now a killer. Let him rot in jail and let it be Gods will. If he was such a stand up guy than why did he run and hide. You got the cojones to pull the trigger than be a man and face the consequences right than and there. But he chose the even more cowardly way and ran away. Now how can you defend cowardess and murder?

You people are here having sympathy for a kid who had no sympathy for the 2 men he killed, now that's crazy. i don't care if he was a good dude in a bad situation it doesn't take the fact HE HAS TO PAY FOR HIS ACTIONS.

I agree that no man should take another's man life..but theres 2 sides of the story and may they R.I.P but the two lost soul wasn't no angels. I see it like this it would ended the same but different people dead.. I love you J may god be with were ever you at..

It's sad to see things like this. I actually went to grade school with him and he wasn't this person. He had a great heart and very friendly. I haven't seen him in along time so i'm not sure what changed him.

My deepest prayers for the family of the lost ones.

I also send out prayers for Jeremy and his mom (if that is her below). God be with him and help us understand what went wrong. It's horrible to see things like this.

My dude Jay had a Devil on each shoulder
An angel in his heart but it froze and it got colder
It’s a disappointment
All coulda been avoided
Large pressure and temptation
Is what led to this devastation
And for that my message is stop shootin
Rest in peace all. Let’s start a resolution.
Revolution of Peace.
To stop confusion and grief.

My prayers go out to the family of the victims and for Jeremy and his family...

He was a lost soul and stuck in a horrible position that was made so much worse do to this.

Makes me so sad.

i agree no one has the right to take anyone else's life only God has that right. But he's not a piece of garbage he's my "son", god bless u jeremy love u always be safe!!!!

this kid is garbage...20 yrs old still a little boy...had no business taking the life of other people...what goes around comes around.

:O thats craziee , this maa niqqa - ii knoee emm . qod bless uu papaaa

Wow
