2 killed in shooting outside 7-Eleven store in Bordentown Twp.; suspect remains at large

BORDENTOWN TWP., N.J. (WPVI) -- Two people are dead after a shooting outside a 7-Eleven Valero gas station in Bordentown Township, Burlington County.

It happened around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday in the parking on the 200 block of Route 130, at Farnsworth Avenue.

Police initially responded to the scene for reports of gunshots after a man who had been shot in the parking lot walked inside the store and asked for help.

When officers arrived, they found two victims.

One of the victims, a 22-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene. The other victim, a 21-year-old man, was taken to a nearby hospital and was later pronounced dead.

Their names have not yet been released.

There are several evidence markers around and underneath a red pick-up truck that was left running as police focus a lot of their attention around the vehicle.

It's unclear how the red pick-up is linked to all of this or who it belongs to.

The Burlington County Prosecutor's Office says the suspect fled in a Jeep, which later crashed in Florence Township. That suspect remains at large, according to officials.

"At this stage of the investigation, it is believed that this was not a random attack," the prosecutor's office said.

There has been no word on a motive.

Anyone with information that might be helpful to investigators is asked to call Burlington County Central Communications at 609-265-7113 or send an email to tips@co.burlington.nj.us.

EDITORIAL NOTE: Initial reports from officials said one victim was fatally stabbed, but it has since been updated to reflect both victims were shot.
