OCEAN COUNTY – A Manchester teen has been charged with the August 7, 2019 murder of his mother in Toms River, announced Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer.
Edgar Diaz, 18, was charged with murder, Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose – specifically a knife, Unlawful Possession of a Weapon, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
On August 7, 2019, Toms River Police responded to Deer Chase Professional Park on Route 37 for reports of an assault. Once on the scene, police found an unresponsive female who was later pronounced dead at Community Medical Center.
Further investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Toms River Township Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit revealed that Edgar Diaz attacked his mother, 44-year old Margarita Diaz. Diaz stabbed her with a knife and slammed her head into the pavement outside their parked vehicle, all in the presence of his younger brother.
“The defendant, Edgar Diaz, was 17 years-old at the time these crimes occurred. Today, Edgar Diaz voluntarily waived jurisdiction of the Family Court to Criminal Court, and will be prosecuted as an adult,” Prosecutor Billhimer stated.

Does anyone know why? Was he on drugs? Was he angry? I just can’t fathom any human being doing this to their mother and also in front of their smaller sibling.
Does anyone know if he had some type of excuse? Just can’t wrap my head around it
Suzanne Heinen I thought i had heard he had some issues – not sure if it was drugs but just not right in his head(obviously) ???? I remember this night – it’s right down the street from my house – police were searching everywhere
