Now, three people have been arrested and charged with the murder of DeJesus, following an investigation by the Paterson Police Department. Prosecutors noted in a press release that members of the Totowa Police Department and the United States Secret Service also assisted in investigative efforts.

That house was later identified as a residence that Martucci shared with her fiancé and their son.

NJ.com reports that investigators have identified the man in that video as Justin FisherMartucci’s 29-year-old fiance.

Martucci was shown to be an important witness in the case, based on the information contained in the probable cause affidavit. She informed police that although she had nothing to do with DeJesus’ death, she noticed something unusual when she got home the night that DeJesus was seen entering the apartment.

In an interview with police, Martucci said she went home that night to find Fisher and his father. Ali Gibson51 years old, carrying something to DeJesus’ car, NJ.com reported.

“Martucci also indicated that when she first entered the home, she noticed the large box/bag in the living room area,” the affidavit said, according to NJ.com.

“Martucci then explains observing that part of the floor/floor in the living room area is ripped off.”

No bags or boxes were found in the car, but Martucci’s cooperation was enough to secure Fisher and Gibson’s arrest warrants just days later.

Both men surrender to the police without incident, according to prosecutors. All three are currently facing first-degree murder and first-degree murder charges.

In New Jersey, first-degree murder carries a minimum sentence of 30 years and a maximum of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
