A former star New Jersey high school athlete who played basketball at Rutgers University has been arrested for allegedly killing a female employee at a popular nightclub in Mexico, according to a report.

Logan Kelley, 26, is accused of creeping up behind 19-year-old Isis Atalia Montoya and slicing her neck with a four- to six-inch folding knife at Adelita Bar in Tijuana’s Zona Norte on Wednesday, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

Tijuana cops arrested Kelley after security guards detained him at the bar. Montoya — an Adelita employee — died at the scene. Police also recovered the murder weapon.

The establishment describes itself as “the most traditional and famous men’s club in Tijuana, since 1962” on social media.

Local Mexican media reported Kelley allegedly killed Montoya – a married mother of a 3-year-old boy — in the corridor of an adjacent motel, which operates in conjunction with the nightclub.

The murder was caught on video.

A man who appears to be Kelley wearing a face mask walks behind Montoya, puts his arm around her neck, stabs her, and then throws her to the ground before running away, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The killer was chased by security guards as the woman struggles on the floor, the video reportedly shows.

Kelley, from Mountain Side, played three games for Rutgers University during the 2012-13 season before transferring to the University of Montevallo in Alabama, where he also played basketball.

A State Department spokesman told the Union-Tribune it was aware of the case.
