Barr was found Sunday with multiple stab wounds and taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Essex County Assistant District Attorney Katelyn Giliberti says McBrier had an argument with Barr at his home that resulted in the stabbing.

McBrier’s court-appointed attorney says he’s not familiar with the case, but says there is potential for a self-defense argument. McBrier appeared in court with black eye and a badly cut hand.
