Police raid home after man found shot at Cherry Hill, NJ shopping center

CHERRY HILL, N.J. (WPVI) -- Police raided a home on Thursday after a 61-year-old man was found shot inside a truck at a Cherry Hill, New Jersey, shopping center.

Officers were seen at a residence near Rabbit Run Drive and Old Orchard Road, less than a mile from Wednesday's shooting at the Liberty Bell Bank Plaza along Route 70.

Surveillance video from a nearby home shows officers arriving Thursday afternoon wearing tactical gear. Moments later, a man exited the house and was taken into custody. Neighbors said a woman later came outside with her hands raised.

"The middle of the day, about one or so, we heard SWAT was responding to the neighborhood, and schools were in lockdown," noted Sara Cox of Cherry Hill.

Throughout the afternoon, officers were seen entering and exiting the home and collecting evidence. Action News has learned the raid is connected to Wednesday's shooting, which left a 61-year-old man injured.

Police said the victim was found shot inside a truck and later taken to an area hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

A witness recalled discovering the victim at the scene.

"We walked out of the Dunkin', and he was slumped over in his car on the steering wheel," the witness said.

Neighbors told Action News they saw the man who was taken away in handcuffs Thursday arrive at the home Wednesday evening in his blue car shortly after the time of the shooting. They said the vehicle was towed away earlier Thursday.

Cox said the activity left residents unsettled.

"It was a little alarming, especially with what happened yesterday at the nearby shopping center," she said.

Police have not released details about what led to the shooting and have not identified the victim or the two individuals taken into custody.

No charges have been announced as the investigation continues.
