Jim Hendrix, 18, of Jersey City, was charged with murder on Oct. 18 after turning himself into police, said Assistant Prosecutor Gene Rubino.
“He was then turned over to the Prosecutor’s Homicide Unit,” Rubino said. “A warrant had been issued for his arrest on October 17.”
This came after a 21-year old man, shot in the face near Bergen Avenue on Oct. 14, died.
Hendrix is being charged with murder, felony murder, robbery, and related firearms offenses, Rubino said.
“His bail was set at $500, 000,” Rubino said.
The victim, who Rubino identified as Dyrell Taylor, was pronounced dead on Oct. 15.
This death is the 21st murder in Jersey City this year.
