Two men were fatally shot
early Sunday morning at a birthday celebration at a residence in Edgewater Park, according to police and
the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.
Police were called to a home
in the 200 block of Dogwood Road just before 1 a.m. There they discovered the
bodies of James Gist III, 29, of Westampton, and Marcus Thompson, also 29, of
Willingboro. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials say approximately
10 people had gathered at the house to celebrate a birthday, and the men who
died were the only ones struck by gunfire.
The motive for the shootings
continues to be investigated, and no arrests have been made.
The homicides are being
investigated by detectives from the prosecutor's office and the Edgewater Park
Township Police Department.
