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.
Not to naysay, the dude is a "nice guy" PoS. But the link is tenuous at best at the moment. its a clip of him saying one of the girls is a dumb ass for a tiktok video she shared that was negative towards charlie kirk.
Basically, it seems he was a stalker and killed her (and her friend) for some reason, but I doubt the kirk thing was the main reason. Motive is not clear yet, other than the obvious parts (stalking, probably liked her, but got rejected, she may have gotten a recent BF, jeolous, various anti-female other sentiments).
