The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office has charged a 16-year-old suspect with the murder of Benjamin Stone, a Jersey City fashion photographer who was found dead in his apartment last month.
The suspect, who has not been identified, has been charged with first-degree murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon. He was arrested yesterday afternoon at the prosecutor’s office.
Stone, 40, a well-known fashion photographer, was found dead by police at his Storms Avenue apartment on April 27 during a welfare check. A friend was said to have requested the check after Stone stopped responding to calls and texts.
Officers who went to Stone s home around 1:30 a.m. April 27 found him dead. The medical examiner ruled the cause of death to be multiple blunt force trauma to the torso and the manner of death to be a homicide.
The teenager was apprehended Thursday, though further details on the boy s relationship to Stone, if there was any prior to the killing, aren t known at this time. Prosecutors haven t speculated publicly on a possible motive, either.
For Stone s friends and loved ones, that makes it all the more difficult to cope with his death. Very shocked He is a well-loved, amazing person. He s probably one of the best photographers I ve ever met, said friend Michael Barbieri, who said Stone had done work for Ralph Lauren and Vogue. We don t know of any disputes, we don t know of any confrontations he s had with people.
