A second man was arrested and charged with murder and related weapons offenses stemming from a June fatal Howell shooting, Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago announced on Thursday.

Salvador J. Cabellos Diaz, 47, of Jackson, was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon, and second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

The case background …

Shortly before 6:45 a.m. on Thursday, June 5, Howell police responded to White Street on a report of a possibly dead man inside a parked vehicle. Upon arrival, officers found an adult male, later identified as Rolando Acte Mejia, 36, of Howell, dead from two gunshot wounds.

An investigation involving members of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Bureau and the Howell Township Police Department determined that the shooting was an isolated incident, and there was no further danger to the public.

Investigators later identified Juan Jesus Mejia Yanza, 33, of Howell, and Diaz as suspects in the case. Yanza was arrested at his home and taken into custody on June 13 and remains there.

Diaz remains in custody at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution (MCCI) pending future proceedings in Monmouth County Superior Court.

This matter remains under investigation, and anyone with information is urged to contact MCPO Detective Kayla Santiago at 800-533-7443 or Howell Police Department Detective Vincent Bonner at 732-938-4111.
