Charlotte Carman
A city woman was arrested last week and charged with murder in connection with the stabbing death of Paris France Way.
Charlotte Carman, 38, is charged with murder, felony murder, robbery, weapons offenses and criminal mischief in connection with Way’s death.
According to prosecutors in the case, around 2 a.m. on May 31, police were dispatched to the corner of Sherman and St. Joes avenues and found 33-year-old Way lying in the intersection suffering from multiple stab wounds to the chest. Way later died at the hospital.
Prosecutors say the investigation revealed that Way and a female neighbor arrived on Sherman Avenue shortly before the murder, and after exiting the vehicle and walking toward their separate homes, Carman approached Way, which sparked a physical altercation.
Prosecutors say Carman slashed all of the tires on a Hyundai Sonata that was driven by Way, and then stabbed him in the chest multiple times. Carman also took Way’s cellphone, prosecutors say, along with $180 he had in his pocket.
Carman was arrested in New Brunswick early Friday evening by members of the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office and the U.S. Marshals NY/NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force. She is being held in jail on $770,000 cash or bond bail.
