A South Jersey man was charged with attempted murder and related charges in the shooting of a 61-year-old man at a Cherry Hill shopping center on Wednesday.
Terrence Roberts, 52, of Cherry Hill, was arrested and charged on Thursday with first-degree attempted murder, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and possessing a large capacity magazine. He was being held at the Camden County Correctional Facility pending a detention hearing in Superior Court, according to a statement from the county prosecutor’s office.
Police had not disclosed the victim’s name as of Friday afternoon. He was reported in stable condition at Cooper University Hospital, the statement said.
