$600,000 bail set in slaying case

Friday, July 7, 2006


CAMDEN -- Bail was held at $600,000 cash or bond today for an illegal Mexican immigrant charged with the fatal stabbing of another man in Camden on the afternoon of July 2.

Edgar Rojas, 20, who had lived in the 500 block of Pfeiffer Street was arrested on a murder charge in Philadelphia last week and returned Monday to Camden County Jail.

His arraignment was delayed because of the state court shutdown.

The victim, Andres Marquez, was stabbed once in the stomach during a confrontation on the street near Rojas' apartment.

Assistant Camden County Prosecutor Ira Slovin said Rojas had no valid documentation to be in the us.
