-- The

of a New Jersey Institute of Technology student was captured late Friday afternoon, the Essex County Prosecutor's Office said.

Taquan Harris, 22, was arrested in Irvington, Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray and Newark Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose said in a joint statement. Detectives with the Essex County Major Crimes Task Force captured Harris on the 100 block of Munn Avenue.

Hours earlier, law enforcement officials announced Harris was being sought for the murder of Joseph Micalizzi, a 23-year-old Freehold-native who was shot in a robbery at the Tau Kappa Epsilon house on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, near NJIT's campus early Monday.

Another man, Nafee Cotman, 18, of Irvington, was arrested Thursday for Micalizzi's killing, authorities said. Both men face charges of murder, felony murder, robbery, burglary and weapons offenses.

Micalizzi was shot around 3 a.m. Monday at his fraternity house and died hours later at University Hospital. Law enforcement sources told NJ Advance Media the junior mechanical engineering student fought with his assailants.

Murray, the acting prosecutor, said the attackers did not know Micalizzi and the shooting stemmed from a robbery.

Officials said Harris was being held at the Essex County Correctional Facility on $1 million bail.
