Highland Park Man Pleads Guilty to 2010 Fatal Stabbing

A Highland Park man pleaded guilty to a murder charge on Tuesday, admitting that he stabbed a woman to death in her Highland Park apartment in 2010.

According to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office, Frank Gonzalez, 25, of Highland Park faces a 30-year sentence in state prison without parole for killing Brandy Williams, 28 in her Highland Park apartment on March 12, 2010.

According to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office, Gonzalez climbed through a second floor window to access the Woodbridge Avenue apartment and attacked Williams during an argument.

He admitted to striking her in the face with a glass and cutting her with a knife, according to the Prosecutor's Office.

A neighbor called police around 5:42 a.m. to report hearing a disturbance, at which time police found Williams in her apartment. She was pronounced dead shortly after at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.

Gonzales was traced back to his home, where he fled from police before being apprehended.

According to the Prosecutor's Office, Gonzalez also pleaded guilty to one count of endangering the welfare of Williams' children, who were home at the time of the stabbing.

He is to be sentenced on Oct. 17 in New Brunswick.
