TRENTON – Christian Lemus-Estrada, of East Windsor, is scheduled to have a bail review in Mercer County Superior Court on Monday, April 29. He is accused of fatally stabbing a 28-year-old East Windsor man Friday night.
Police said Carlos Tinizhanay-Arias, 28, was stabbed by Mr. Lemus-Estrada, 18, once in the torso with a kitchen knife late in the evening on April 19. In addition to homicide, he faces a weapons offenses charge.
Mr. Tinizhanay-Arias, also a Windsor Castle resident, was transported to Robert Wood Johnson Hamilton Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at approximately 12:45 a.m. Saturday, police said.
Judge Robert Billmeier is currently scheduled to hear bails that morning, said Casey DeBlasio, public information officer for the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office, on April 24.
James Monahan, chief of the East Windsor Township Police Department told the Herald earlier this week, "An argument escalated resulting in the defendant stabbing the victim."
Mr. Tinizhanay-Arias and Mr. Lemus-Estrada were inside the apartment of a fellow Windsor Castle resident. Police described that person as a "mutual acquittance." Mr. Lemus-Estrada, of A7 Windsor Castle, was later located at a apartment at approximately 2:40 a.m. by local detectives in conjunction with the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office.
Mr. Lemus-Estrada, 18, remains in the Mercer County Correction Center in lieu of $500,000 bail.
