Authorities say they have apprehended suspects in two homicide cases in Camden. A man has been arrested in a nearly year-old fatal shooting, and a 24-year-old man was taken into custody in connection with a November shooting death.

In the earlier case, an 18-year-old from Camden was charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Leonard Moody, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office said. The 22-year-old Camden resident was shot to death at the Branch Village Apartments on Jan. 25.

Prosecutors said the man, whose name was not released, was 17 at the time of the killing and is being held at a juvenile detention facility. He was taken into custody this week.

Separately, Bronk Miller of Camden is facing first-degree murder charges in the shooting of Andre Matthews, prosecutors said. Matthews, 44, of Camden, was shot on the 1400 block of Pershing Street on Nov. 8.
