The authorities arrested a seventh person in the killing of a man on Totowa Avenue, according to the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office.
Mick Cadet, 20, of Paterson, was arrested on Wednesday by the Passaic County Sheriff’s Office. He allegedly tried to evade and resisted arrest when officers tried to nab him, authorities said.
Cadet has been charged with murder and weapons offenses. He is also charged with resisting arrest and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer.
