Update: Lateef O'Joye 1981-2009

I have to give it to the Passaic Police Department and Prosecuters Office for working faster than I’ve ever seen before.
Three men and one teenager have been arrested in connection with the shooting death of Lateef Ojoye.
LaLa was in his parked car this past Friday night (July 10, 2009) when he was approced by four men trying to rob him. He attempted to drive away and was shot once in the chest with a 9mm.
The three adults, Donald Thomas, 22, Givonni Butler, 19 and Mark Wilson, 22 are being held at Passaic County Community Jail on various charges from murder, to weapons charges. The teen, who is just 15 years old, is nt named because of his age and is being held at Essex County Juvenile Detention Center.
"The investigation, which is continuing, has revealed that the adult suspects conspired with and assisted the juvenile suspect in attempting to commit a robbery on Ojoye," a statement from the Prosecutor’s Office said.
"These arrests are important to send the message that our Police Department will not rest until violent crimes committed in the city of Passaic are solved and offenders are behind bars," Mayor Blanco said. Source
Just six days after this tragic incident Lateef has been laid to rest and his murders sit behind bars.
Nothing will bring back Lateef. But these arrests provide a sence of closure and justice being served.
