Freehold, NJ – Andre Harris and Jennifer Sweeney, the duo charged with the murder of Tyrita Julius, was formally indicted in Monmouth County Superior Court on nine charges.
What happened to Tyrita Julius
Tyrita Julius survived one attempt against her life in a shooting in Linden, N.J. in November 2015, but would unforunately meet her fate as prosecutors say the two succeeded in killing Julius on the second try.
Tyrita Julius went missing in March and was found in a backyard of a Long Branch, N.J. home.
Authorities say she was strangled to death before her body was buried.
Andre Harris and Jennifer Sweeney Indicted For The Murder Of Tyrita Julius
Andre Harris and Jennifer Sweeney were charged with both attempting to kill and later killing Julius, court records show.
In connection to the Linden shooting, they were indicted on two counts of first degree attempted murder, one count of first degree conspiracy, one count of second degree unlawful possession of a handgun and one count of possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose.
Charges
In connection to Julius’ strangling death, Harris and Sweeney were indicted on one count of first degree murder, one count of third degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, one count of second degree disturbing or desecrating human remains, and one count of fourth degree tampering with physical evidence.
The weapon charge in the second half of the indictment referred to “an electrical extension cord” which they are accused of using unlawfully against Julius.
Jennifer Sweeney said she dropped off Tyrita Julius at the Long Branch, N.J. train station, the last time anyone saw her.
But Monmouth and Union County prosecutors said that not only had Sweeney lied about that, she and Harris had killed Julius and disposed of her body.
