Update – The Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw and Willingboro Township Acting Public Safety Director Captain Ian Bucs have announced charges against a 37-year-old Pennsylvania man in the fatal shooting of 33-year-old Catherine Nunez and her mother 54-year-old Marisol Nunes.
Police say Junior Edwards of Lansdowne was charged with two counts of Murder, Home Invasion Burglary Armed with a Firearm, Unlawful Possession of a Weapon, Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
The warrants were presented to Edwards in Philadelphia where he had already been taken into custody on unrelated charges.
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.
