A Newark man has been arrested and charged with murder after police said he opened fire in a New Jersey Chick-fil-A, killing a man and leaving six other people hurt.

Jaheed Fields was busted nearly three weeks after the shooting in the Union Township fast food shop, county prosecutor William Daniel announced Friday.

Fields, 20, was charged with one count of first-degree murder and six counts of attempted murder, as well as unlawful possession of a handgun and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

“The brazen nature of this incident, occurring in a crowded restaurant where people should feel safe, was an affront to our citizens and the security they deserve,” Daniel said.

“This arrest is a testament to the meticulous work and seamless coordination between all of the law enforcement agencies involved, and a reminder that Union County will never tolerate acts of lawlessness that threaten our residents.”

Officials did not reveal a motive for the shooting.

Fields allegedly fired several rounds inside the Chick-fil-A around 9 p.m. on April 11, with witnesses describing the scene as a “warzone.”

Malek Shepherd, 23, of New York City, was killed at the scene, police said.

Six other victims were taken to area hospitals and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Witnesses at the time said a group of masked men charged into the shop and fired multiple shots after forcing their way behind the counter.

It’s unclear if additional arrests were expected.

Next month, 50 kids from across New England will be dressed in their best as they walk the runway at this year’s Glimmer Gala.

It’s an evening for childhood cancer survivors to feel like celebrities.

“For them, not only do they get to feel like a normal kid doing a normal activity, but they get to feel larger than life,” said Alison Hornung, founder and CEO of the Glimmer of Hope Foundation. “I hear the kids go into their classrooms after and say, ‘I got to walk the runway show and I got to do a photo shoot.’”

That photo shoot and shopping spree are something each child, like 6-year-old Bella Berg from Lexington, gets to take part in.

“For everything that they go through and that loss of identity, it really makes them feel like they’re beautiful and strong, inside and outside,” Hornung said.

The Glimmer of Hope Foundation started six years ago. It brings hope to families whose children are battling cancer. This year’s gala is expected to be their biggest yet, with at least 500 people expected to attend.

The goal is to give the kids confidence and make them feel special.

“They get to be alongside kids that are going through the same thing as them, so they don’t feel different,” said Hornung. “They just feel seen and understood.”

The Glimmer Gala takes place Saturday June 13 at the Rhode Island Convention Center. Click here for more.
