Oct. 29 (UPI) — Three people have been charged with murder and a fourth with obstructing an investigation in the slaying of a detective sergeant during a home invasion in New Jersey earlier this month, authorities said.

Detective Sgt. Monica Mosley, 51, of the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office, was fatally shot on the night of October 15 when suspects broke into her home in Bridgeton, located in southern New Jersey, about 78 miles south of Trenton .

On Monday, the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office announced the arrest of four people in connection with the murder.

Nyshawn Mutcherson, 29, Jarred Brown, 31, and Richard Hawkins Willis, 32, all of New Jersey, each face one count of murder, along with a number of related weapons and other offenses.

Cyndia Pimentel, 38, was charged with obstructing an investigation along with other related charges.

“The law enforcement community and the state of New Jersey have lost a steadfast and dedicated public servant, but we know that the loss of Sergeant Monica Mosely is felt most deeply by her family, loved ones and colleagues,” Cape May County District Attorney Jeffrey. Sutherland said in a statement.

“Although nothing will ever bring Sgt. Mosley back to those who loved her, we hope that the focused and coordinated efforts in this case will give them the comfort of knowing that justice is being done.”

The Bridgeton Police Department said in a news release that officers were called to Mosley’s home around 10:30 p.m. local time on Oct. 15 on a report that multiple suspects had kicked in the door of in front of the residence.

An affidavit of probable cause obtained by ABC News they accuse Brown, Mutcherson and Willis of breaking into Mosley’s home and then shooting her.

Mosley was able to shoot Mutcherson in the chest as he succumbed to his injuries, the affidavit said, adding that the three suspects then fled the scene, with Mutcherson being treated for the shooting at a Bridgeton hospital.
