A grand jury indicted Andre Price of Willingboro on two counts of first-degree murder and several weapons offenses, according to Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina
The indictment was returned Thursday. An arraignment is expected soon in Superior Court.
Price has been held at the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly since being extradited to New Jersey two months ago after his apprehension by the U.S. Marshals Capitol Area Regional Fugitive Task Force in Newport News, Virginia.
Price is charged with fatally shooting Sadiel Gonzalez, 25, and Altarek Bell, 18, as they were parking their car at the Orchard Park Apartments with two other passengers inside on March 27.
An investigation found that the shootings followed a confrontation earlier in the evening at a water ice store in Willingboro. Price is alleged to have followed the victims to the apartment complex before pulling up beside their vehicle, firing multiple shots and speeding away, Coffina said.
Gonzalez, who lived at the complex, was in the driver’s seat and Bell, a North Carolina resident, was in a back seat. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. The car's two other occupants were not struck by gunfire.
The Burlington County Sheriff’s Department assisted in the fugitive's apprehension.
