HOMICIDE VICTIMS IDENTIFIED IN BRUTAL SUNDAY EVENING SLAYING!
NORTH ARLINGTON – The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office announced the identity of both murder victims that were slain Sunday evening on Ridge Road.
Brian Dominick Lockett, 28 of North Arlington and Ezequiel “Pichii” Aquino, 29 of Newark both lost their lives in this senseless shooting in what many are describing the most disturbing and savage murder in borough history.
It is the second major crime event to take place in North Arlington in 2026.
The first was the federal raid of a Belleville Pike business known as The Peak, which was linked to a far wider criminal drug sweep in both Bergen and Hudson Counties which occurred last April.
The two murders have shaken North Arlington residents to their core.
