A Grand Jury has returned an indictment against two men who are charged in connection to the fatal shooting of Arturo Barrera III in Egg Harbor Township in January, 2020.
Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon Tyner says 26-year-old Leonard B. Ludwigsen, Jr., of Egg Harbor Township was indicted on first-degree felony murder, first-degree robbery, second-degree conspiracy, second-degree possession of weapons for unlawful purposes, and second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon charges.
28-year-old Neco J. Pitts of Long Branch was indicted those same charges plus second-degree certain persons not to have weapons.
Tyner's office says just after 11PM on January 2, 2020, Egg Harbor Township Police received a 911 call about a shooting at 109 Vermont Avenue. Arriving officers found Barrera with multiple gunshot wounds; he died at the scene.
