Millville police responded to two people suffering from gunshot wounds in a vehicle near Alpha and Omega Food Market and Laundromat on East Green Street at around 10:37 a.m. Hitchens was found unresponsive in the passenger's seat with several gunshot wounds.
Hitchens was rushed to Inspira Medical Center Vineland where she was pronounced dead. The driver, a 32-year-old Millville man, was also shot and he was listed in stable condition at Cooper University Hospital in Camden.
Hitchens' family said she was a mother of five and had just left home to go to the store when she was shot, 6abc Action News reported.
"My mom didn't deserve this," Hitchens' daughter, who wanted to remain anonymous, said to 6abc Action News. "She wasn't a bad person. She wasn't a bad person at all."
