Man dead after prosecutors believe he was shot multiple times while driving on Route 73 in New Jersey
A man is dead after suffering multiple gunshot wounds, which investigators believe were fired while he was driving in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, early Sunday morning. The man, who has yet to be identified, was found bleeding in the 1000 block of Atrium Way at around 2:30 a.m., Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia Bradshaw wrote in an announcement Sunday. He was then brought to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, where he died less than two hours later. Investigators believe the man had been shot moments before he was found on Atrium Way, while driving northbound on Route 73 in his 2014 silver Mercedes-Benz E250, Bradshaw said. An autopsy will be performed; however, no arrests have been made, and no weapons were recovered. The Burlington County Prosecutor's Office and the Mount Laurel Police Department will oversee the investigation. Anyone with information related to the shooting or what led up to it is asked to submit a tip to BCPO at tips@ or MLPD at tips@

Ex-New Jersey police officer admits hacking into woman's Snapchat, sending nude photos to her Facebook friends
A former Mount Laurel, New Jersey police officer pleaded guilty this week to accessing thousands of college email accounts, hacking multiple women's social media accounts and distributing private images they saved on those accounts — while on duty. Moorestown resident Ayron Taylor, 25, pleaded to charges of elements of computer theft and official misconduct Monday, the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office said. Multiple police departments across the county including Riverside, Evesham, Mount Laurel and Delran worked on the investigation along with the BCPO's High-Tech Crimes Unit and the New Jersey State Police. Work began in 2022 when a woman contacted Evesham Township police to report her Snapchat and Facebook accounts had been hacked, and an unknown person sent nude photos she had taken of herself to her Snapchat contacts, messaged them to her Facebook friends and posted them on her Facebook page. Investigators later learned of other victims and found what they all had in common: each one had a student email address at Rowan College at Burlington County. Taylor accessed about 5,000 RCBC students' email accounts. It wasn't clear how Taylor obtained that access; police said the college cooperated with investigators. "The charges reflect the fact that Taylor engaged in illegal computer activity from his own personal devices while on duty as a patrol officer," BCPO said in a news release. Taylor joined the Mount Laurel Police Department after graduating from the police academy in October 2021. He was suspended after the initial charges in this case and later resigned after the department moved to fire him. The case was prosecuted by Stephen Eife, supervisor of the BCPO Special Victims Unit. Evesham police detective Christopher DeFrancesco led the investigaiton.
