Multiple shots were fired from outside the man's home, according to Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina and Palmyra Police Department Chief Meghan Campbell.
Timothy Thomas, 48, of Palmyra was in his living room in the 400 block of Cinnaminson Avenue when multiple shots were fired into the residence at approximately 2:30 a.m. Saturday, March 19, they said.
Thomas, who was struck in the chest, was taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, where he was pronounced dead shortly before 4 a.m.
A relative who was in the same room with Thomas when the shooting occurred was uninjured. The preliminary investigation suggests there were multiple shooters, who fled on foot in the direction of the Delaware River, the prosecutor said.
No arrests had been made.
