Two shot and killed inside car in Newark; suspect arrested

JUST LAWLESSNESS
NEWARK (WABC) -- Two people were shot while sitting inside a car in Newark.

It happened at around 6 p.m. near the intersection of 4th Avenue and North 12th Street.

23-year-old Kendel Davis managed to drive the car to nearby Columbus Hospital, and then died behind the driver's seat in the parking lot.


The other victim, also a 23-year-old man, was taken to University Hospital in an unknown condition.

Phillip Sessoms, age 22 of Newark, is charged with Murder, Aggravated Assault and Weapons offenses. Bail has been set at $750,000

Former NJ deacon accused of stealing church funds


HACKENSACK -- Prosecutors say a former deacon and pastoral associate at a northern New Jersey church stole $53,000 from an account designated for needy parishioners.

51-year-old James Looby served at St. Therese Lisieux Church in Cresskill before resigning in May 2010 and moving to Del Valle, Texas. Two months later, a routine audit by the Archdiocese of Newark uncovered the missing funds.

Bergen County prosecutors say Looby faces two counts of theft.

Looby allegedly obtained a credit card for the church account and used it to withdraw funds from January 2006 until he resigned. Prosecutors say he used the money for personal expenses, such as buying airline tickets and paying credit card bills.

It wasn't known if Looby had retained an attorney, and a phone number for him could not be located.
