Man charged in death of NJ man found in car trunk

FORT LEE, N.J. - Authorities have made an arrest in the slaying of a New Jersey man whose body was found last month in the trunk of a car on a New York City street.

Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli says 25-year-old Andre Jamal Thompson is charged with felony murder, robbery and burglary in the death of 24-year-old Jordan Johnson of Fort Lee. Thompson was arrested last week in a Maryland hotel room and is awaiting extradition.

Bail was set at $2 million cash for Thompson, who lives in Fort Lee and Worcester, Mass.

Molinelli says Thompson allegedly lured Johnson to a Fort Lee apartment. Thompson was attacked there and eventually killed.

Johnson's cellphone was then used to send texts to his girlfriend, luring her from their apartment, which was then burglarized. She reported Johnson missing, and he was found the next day.
