4 Arrests Made in Connection with Shooting Death of Millville Football Coach
Joseph Jones was fatally gunned down in August, now police are closer to finding those responsible for his death.
The Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office reports that police apprehended 42-year-old Eugene Cosby and 34-year old Genca Hughes-Lee, both of Malaga, 22-year old Will El-Bey and 22-year-old Tyrell Hart, both of Vineland,
Cosby and Bey have been charged with homicide and conspiracy to commit homicide, while Hughes-Lee and Hart face charges of conspiracy to hinder apprehension, hindering apprehension, obstruction and two counts of false reports to law enforcement, according to 6abc.com.
Jones, a youth football coach, had just finished a practice with this team on August 9th, and was inside his car at Lakeside Middle School when he was shot.
Just weeks ago, authorities released a photo of a suspicious vehicle seen leaving the scene, looking for more information on the suspects.
Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRac said in a statement, "It is my hope that these arrests assure the victim's family, the children and parents of the Millville Midget Football League and the greater community that law enforcement will do all in its power to bring those we allege are responsible to justice."
Our thoughts continue to be with Coach Jones' family, friends, and the entire Millville community during this tough time.
