Newark police arrested a man in the murders of a 1-year-old boy and 21-year-old man in Orange last month, prosecutors said on Saturday.
Stevenson Valentin, 28, of Maplewood, faces charges in the Nov. 3 deaths of Marcus Millen, 1, and Morlens Milice, 21, on Cleveland Ave. in Orange. He was also charged with two counts of assault for allegedly shooting two other people.
Milice was Millen's uncle, and had been released from jail a week before the shooting. Millen's father was also among those injured.
A 16-year-old who survived the shooting told NBC 4 New York he and his family were outdoors when a masked gunman opened fire, and that he followed them upstairs as they ran inside the house.
Valentin was arrested during a traffic stop in Newark, the Essex County Prosecutor's Office said. Bail was set at $1 million.
