The alleged killer of a 19-year-old Camden County man was captured yesterday morning in Woodbury, authorities said.

Carlos Bryant 21, of Glassboro, was found at a friend's apartment by the fugitive unit of the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office.

Bryant, wanted in the Tuesday slaying of Robert Harrell of Winslow Township, was arrested without incident at the Woodlake Apartments and held at the Gloucester County Jail after failing to post $750,000 bail, said Bernie Weisenfeld, spokesman for the Prosecutor's Office.

He said Bryant allegedly had stabbed Harrell in the chest during a fight at the home of Harrell's girlfriend in Monroe Township.

Harrell's girlfriend and two children, 1 year old and 1 week old, were not harmed.

Harrell was pronounced dead at 3:30 p.m. at Kennedy Memorial Hospitals-University Medical Center/Washington Township.

An autopsy determined he died of a severed aorta. Police have recovered the suspected murder weapon, Weisenfeld said.

In addition to murder, Bryant was charged with two counts of aggravated assault and weapons counts.
