4o5er on an upper level parking deck. Basim Henry, 33, of South Orange, Hanif
Thompson, 29, of Irvington, and Karif Ford, 32, and Kevin Roberts, 35, both of Newark,
were indicted in connection with the Dec. 15, 2013 murder of 30-year-old Dustin
Friedland, prosecutors said. All suspects remain in custody at the Essex County
Correctional Facility with a bail of two million dollars each. Friedlands widow, Jamie
Schare Friedland is pursuing a lawsuit against the malls owners as well as the Universal
Protection Service on claims that the ambulance was unable to fit up the ramp of the
parking garage. In January, Millburn Police Chief Gregory Weber confirmed that the
emergency workers were forced to roll the stretcher up and down the ramp as the
ambulance was in fact unable to fit. The lawsuit claims that the ambulance squad took an
extended and excessive period of time to respond to the scene after Friedlands widow
made the 9-1-1 call.
The four defendants were indicted on counts of murder, felony murder, conspiracy
charges, carjacking, and weapons offenses; they are scheduled to be arraigned on October
14, 2014.
