A late-night shooting in South Jersey on Monday left a 17-year-old boy dead and a 17-year-old girl injured, Burlington County law enforcement officials said Tuesday.
The gunfire erupted at approximately 11:35 p.m. at a house in the 100 block of Snow Avenue in the Browns Mills section of Pemberton Township, authorities said.
When Pemberton Township officers arrived at the scene, they found Malachi Treherne, of Pemberton, lying in the doorway of the residence, where police said he had been staying.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim, a teen girl shot in the chest, was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton. As of Tuesday afternoon, she was in stable condition, authorities said.
