In the homicide, police were called to the Best Western hotel on Stelton Road at 11:50 p.m. after someone reported shots were fired. The officers found Quadir Ali-Muslim, 32, of Plainfield lying in a hallway on the first floor, Sewitch said.
"He was shot," the prosecutor said, not saying in what part of his body Ali-Muslim took the bullet. "He was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy is being performed today."
About 12 hours earlier, at 11:52 a.m., police were called to an area of Sampton Avenue on the report shots were fired and found the body of a 25-year-old Plainfield woman.
Sewitch said the woman had "an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head."
"She was a passenger in the car of a friend when she shot herself," he said. "She apparently shot herself in the car."
Sewitch said "no foul play is suspected" in her death.
Now, that suicide is curious. Do you suppose it means the gun was hers, legally owned? No, I doubt that. Perhaps it was illegally owned by her and the friend who owned the car had nothing to do with it. Since she's dead, it doesn't matter about the gun anymore.
What do you think? Please leave a comment.
