Intruder fatally shoots two women in Hawthorne Park neighborhood of Willingboro

The Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office reports that it is investigating the deaths of two women alongside the Willingboro Township Police Department. Authorities say two women were fatally shot yesterday morning by an intruder inside their residence in the Hawthorne Park neighborhood.

BCSO says officers responded to the first block of Harrington Circle just after 4 a.m. for a report of a burglary in progress. Authorities say two women, 33-year-old Catherine Nunez and her mother 54-year-old Marisol Nunez, were found deceased.

Willingboro Police believe the intruder made entry through a first-floor window that had been broken. The intruder reportedly fled before police arrived. Police confirm that no arrests have been made.

The Burlington County Medical Examiner Dr. Ian Hood performed the autopsies and determined that the victims died from gunshot wounds. Authorities do not believe this was a random incident.
