A 14-year-old boy who authorities say shot and killed a man in a park in Mount Holly last month has been charged with murder and weapons offenses.
The teen was taken into custody Thursday at the Burlington County Courthouse in Mount Holly. He is being held at the Ocean County Jail.
The teen allegedly shot Andre Ross, 25, once in the back at Mill Dam Park on Sept. 25 around 5:45 p.m.
Ross, who lived near the park, was pronounced dead at the scene. Ross’ mother called the shooting “senseless.”
