Police say Winstanley got into a physical altercation with Cordero earlier Sunday. Investigators have developed information suggesting the defendant feared Cordero would report their fight and other information to police. They allege Winstanley shot Cordero on the street with a handgun about noon near the intersection of 9th and Federal streets to keep his neighbor silent.
Camden police found Winstanley near the shooting scene a few minutes later. Officials say that Winstanley had a handgun and a shotgun. He also had with him numerous rounds of ammunition.
After his arrest, Winstanley informed officers he had a number of firearms and numerous rounds of ammunition in his home. The Camden Police Department was expected to remove all weapons there Monday.
