A disturbing stalking case involving multiple states has shocked many after police say a young man allegedly followed a woman for hours, secretly recorded her movements, and then hid inside her car while she received emergency medical treatment.
Investigators say the woman did not know the suspect and had no idea she was being followed from New Jersey to Delaware. The case has raised serious concerns about personal safety, stalking, and public security.
New Jersey Man Arrested in Shocking Stalking Case
Police have arrested Prince Onukogu, 22, from Piscataway, in connection with a disturbing stalking investigation.
According to police, Prince Onukogu allegedly followed a woman across state lines before hiding inside her vehicle while she was inside a hospital.
The case is being investigated by the Middletown Police Department.
Suspect Allegedly Followed Woman From New Jersey
Investigators say the victim did not know the suspect and had never met him before.
According to police, Prince Onukogu allegedly began following the woman while she was in New Jersey.
Court documents reportedly suggest he first noticed the woman at a:
- Wawa convenience store
- Gas station in New Jersey
Police believe he started tracking her nearly two hours before his arrest.
Authorities Say He Secretly Recorded Her
Investigators claim Prince Onukogu secretly recorded the woman at several locations without her knowledge.
According to police, surveillance and investigative evidence suggest he monitored her movements as she travelled across state lines.
Authorities have not publicly confirmed what devices were allegedly used to record her.
Woman Later Went to Hospital in Delaware
At some point during her travels, the woman reportedly needed emergency medical treatment.
She later arrived at an emergency department in Middletown.
Police have not disclosed:
- Why she needed medical treatment
- Whether she realised she was being followed
- How long she remained at the hospital
Authorities say these details remain private.
Suspect Allegedly Hid Inside Victim’s Car
Investigators say the most disturbing part of the case happened after the woman entered the hospital.
According to police, Prince Onukogu allegedly entered the rear of her parked vehicle and hid inside while she received treatment.
Police say surveillance footage captured him entering the car.
The woman reportedly had no idea he was inside.
Arrest Made Without Incident
After reviewing surveillance footage and gathering evidence, officers from the Middletown Police Department located and arrested Prince Onukogu.
Authorities say he was taken into custody without resistance.
Criminal Charges Filed
Prosecutors have charged Prince Onukogu with multiple offences.
The charges include:
- Third-degree burglary
- Stalking
These are serious criminal allegations under Delaware law.
Bail and Court Status
According to reports, Prince Onukogu has since been released after posting $5,000 bail.
At this time, authorities have not publicly confirmed:
| Case Detail | Current Status |
|---|---|
| Plea entered | Not confirmed |
| Defence lawyer | Not publicly known |

| Next court date | Not yet announced |
Investigators continue reviewing evidence.
Motive Still Unknown
Police say they still do not know exactly why Prince Onukogu allegedly targeted the woman.
Authorities have not identified any previous connection between the suspect and the victim.
At this stage, investigators believe she was a complete stranger to him.
This disturbing case highlights how stalking can quickly become dangerous and unpredictable. Investigators say a woman who simply went about her normal day allegedly became the target of a stranger who followed her across state lines, secretly recorded her, and even hid inside her vehicle.
As the case against Prince Onukogu moves through court, many people are once again discussing the importance of personal safety, awareness, and quick police action in protecting potential victims.
