Detective Sgt. Monica Mosley was a longtime employee with the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office.
Richard B. Hawkins Willis sits, awaiting the start of a change of venue hearing at the Cumberland County Courthouse in Bridgeton, NJ on Friday, November 22, 2024. Hawkins Willis and four others are charged in connection with the murder of Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office Detective Sgt. Monica Mosley.Four men charged with murder in the shooting death of a Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office detective will remain in jail while they await trial, a judge ruled Monday.
Cellphone data, automated license plate readers, surveillance videos and witnesses helped piece together what unfolded on the night of the killing and placed the defendants together, Cape May County First Assistant Prosecutor Saverio Carroccia stated. From there, the men allegedly traveled to Buckshutem Road, where video surveillance from a trailer park near Mosley’s house picked up the Equinox just before 10 p.m., Carroccia said.
The third shot was fired into the back of her head at a downward trajectory in what Carroccia said Monday “appears to be somewhat of an execution-type murder.” Authorities were alerted about Mutcherson arriving at the medical facility. He initially told investigators he was shot in Millville, but they determined that was a lie, according to court documents.On Oct. 18, Pimentel and Hawkins Willis allegedly drove from Pimentel’s home to an address associated with Willis in Gloucester City, Carroccia said in November.
“Even at this early stage, it looks like a pretty solid circumstantial case against all four co-defendants,” he said in assessing probable cause for the charges. “Any individual who participates in a violent home invasion while he and/or his co-conspirators are strapped with firearms is a danger to every single person in every community,” the prosecutor responded in seeking Thomas’ detention.
“There are no facts presented in the probable cause statement that would reflect that the victim in this matter was actively engaged in her police duties, let alone … whether this defendant or any of the other co-defendants knew that the alleged victim was a police officer,” Hark said. The attorney for Hawkins Willis didn’t challenge the state’s motion for detention Monday, but reserved the right to file a motion to reopen detention once the defense has received all discovery in the case.
