City Criminal Warrant Squad members, working with the Marshal's Regional Fugitive Task Force, arrested 29-year-old Robert L. McClure at a multi-family home on Union Avenue during a quick-strike raid around 6 a.m., city Police Director Jerry Speziale said.

McClure is charged in Portsmouth, VA with first-degree murder and weapons offenses in connection with the shooting death of a 28-year-old man there a week ago.

He was being held in the Passaic County Jail pending extradition proceedings.
