Bridgeton Police were called to the 600 block of Buckshutem Road around 10:30 p.m. on October 15, 2024, for a report of multiple people kicking in the front door of a home. When they arrived, they found Mosley suffering from a gunshot wound. Mosley, a detective sergeant with the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office, died of his injuries at the scene.

The investigation led officers to Inspira Hospital in Bridgeton and eventually New Jersey State Police to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, where they detained for questioning a person who had been treated for a gunshot wound.

Investigators later identified Mutcherson, Brown, Willis and Pimentel as suspects in connection with Mosley’s murder.

Mutcherson, Brown and Willis are charged with murder, burglary, illegal possession of weapons and other related offenses.

Pimentel is charged with obstructing an investigation, obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence.

“This is a significant step toward justice for Detective Sergeant Monica Mosley and her family,” said Cape May County District Attorney Jeffrey H. Sutherland. “We are resolute in our commitment to ensure that those responsible for this horrific act are brought to justice. Our hearts go out to the loved ones and colleagues of Detective Sergeant Monica Mosley at this incredibly difficult time.”

While all four suspects are in custody, New Jersey State Police, the Cape May District Attorney’s Office and Bridgeton Police continue to investigate the incident. If you have information about Mosley’s murder, please call the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office at 609-465-1135.

A “constant friend and role model”

Mosley began his career with the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office in 2006 as a paralegal specialist. She became a county detective with the office in 2009 and has served in various units, including trial teams, the Special Victims Unit, the Community Justice Unit and Internal Affairs, where she was a unit supervisor, according to Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae .

“Sergeant Mosley was a constant friend and role model to all those he served with and led in the Cumberland County law enforcement community and beyond,” Webb-McRae wrote. “She will be missed more than they can detail, but she will never be forgotten by her CCPO family. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sergeant Mosley’s family at this most difficult time.”

Outside of work, Mosley was a proud mother of two daughters, grandmother of twin grandsons and owner of a dog.

“I used to see her every day when she came home,” Diane Sapp, Mosley’s longtime neighbor, told NBC10. “She’d go back, go to the mailbox. Get in the car, get her dog. It was her and her dog, this China. This China. She loved China.”

Mosely’s longtime friend Gary Walker Jr. described her as a woman who “always had a smile.”

“She was just a gentle person inside and out,” he said. “And her smile, I’m going to miss her having fun.”

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy also released a statement regarding Mosley’s death earlier this month.

“I am outraged and heartbroken by the killing of Sgt. Monica Mosley, who was shot and killed during a home invasion in Bridgeton last night,” Governor Murphy wrote. “As a detective with the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office, Sgt. Mosley has served his community with distinction, working every day to ensure safety. and the welfare of the people of Cumberland County. This act of violence impacts our entire law enforcement community and all of New Jersey.”

New Jersey State Police along with two other agencies are leading the investigation into the death of a detective who was shot in her home. Family members were seen taking things from the victim’s home Thursday, but no new information was released from officials. NBC10’s Leah Uko has what we know.
