NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Now that six suspects are in custody for the execution-style slaying of three college students, residents hope to learn more about the motive behind the crime that has outraged the city.
"I want to know what happened and why it happened. But we may never get those answers," said Cathy Rainey, a close friend of the mother of one of the victims.
While city officials released few new details during a news conference Monday, Mayor Cory A. Booker looked to assure residents that those responsible for the murders have been apprehended.

Booker said the arrest of a sixth man Sunday completes the search for suspects sought in the killings and the focus will now turn to their prosecution as the community begins to heal.
