The Mercer County Homicide Task Force and the East Windsor Township Police Department today announced the arrest of Jefrey Vasquez-Calderon for the murder of Luis Sanchez.
According to authorities, the East Windsor police on Feb. 27th responded to a residence in the first block of Bennington Drive at approximately 8:30 a.m.
