Bergen Lafayette

A Jersey City man, Terrance Nelson, age 29, has been charged with Murder in the death of his mother, Jacqueline Nelson.

The Regional Medical Examiner in Newark has ruled that a 40-year-old Bergen-Lafayette man found dead in his apartment by the police on April 27th during an early morning welfare check, died from multiple blunt force trauma to the torso.

With its spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Liberty State Park (LSP) easily ranks as the crown jewel of New Jersey’s state park system but some people are asking why it can’t offer more in the way of amenities. Questions surrounding food concessions, transportation options and a renovation of the crumbling train shed have been overshadowed by the debates over Caven Point and the restoration of the park interior.

A community group filed suit on Friday to stop the construction of a 17-story 420-unit luxury high-rise in Bergen-Lafayette.
