Three Willingboro men are accused of fatally shooting a Trenton resident as he sat in a parked vehicle in the township’s Pennypacker Park section this summer.
Separately, the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office has announced an investigation into a fatal shooting of a man in Mount Holly. It said the incident occurred at approximately 5:45 p.m. Sept. 22 near Wall and Pine streets, but no additional details were released.
The Willingboro men — brothers Elijah B. Ervin, 33, and Shaheed L. Ervin, 39, and 29-year-old Earl T. Johnson — are charged with the Aug. 10 murder of 43-year-old Bruce Hall Jr. The victim was shot in a pickup truck near Paddock Lane and Poppy Turn, the prosecutor’s office said.
