Police are trying to find the suspect or suspects who broke into a home in Burlington County, New Jersey and shot and killed a mother and daughter. It happened around 4 a.m. Wednesday in the Hawthorne Park neighborhood of Willingboro. The Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office said police found the two women — 33-year-old Catherine Nunez and her mother, 54-year-old Marisol Nunez — dead in an upstairs bedroom. Neighbors said Catherine Nunez’s young son was home at the time but wasn’t hurt. Investigators believe one or more intruders broke in through a first-floor window. They don’t believe this is a random incident. Neighbors are planning a prayer service outside the home on Harrington Circle Friday night. (Photo credit: NBC10)
