A Burlington City man has died after a Monday night triple shooting
Two juveniles who were shot are expected to survive, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.
A 23-year-old Burlington City man has died after he was shot alongside two juveniles near Route 130 and Federal Street on Monday night.
Jerome Chandler was shot multiple times just before 7 p.m. outside a residence on the 100 block of Federal Street, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office.
He fell at the scene, while the two juveniles “took off running in the direction of Route 130 before collapsing,” Joel Bewley, spokesperson for Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw, wrote in a statement.
Chandler was taken to Virtua Willingboro Hospital where he later died, Bewley said.
The two juveniles are recovering at Camden’s Cooper Norcross University Hospital and are both expected to survive, Bewley said.
No arrests have been made as of noon Tuesday.
Burlington schools on Tuesday opened two hours late, including Burlington City High School, which is near the area of the shooting, directly across Route 130.
On Tuesday morning, with the scene cleared from the night before, crossing guards stood at their regular posts in the neighborhood, guiding stragglers as they made their way to school while the nearby McDonald’s continued operating as usual.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
