Law enforcement was called to Mosley’s property at around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, according to the Bridgeton Police Department, “on the report of several subjects kicking in a front door at a residence.”
The agency also stated that Monica Mosley, 51, a sergeant with the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office, had been shot when they arrived and that she subsequently passed away at the scene from her wounds.
“Subsequent investigation at the scene led officers to Inspira Hospital in Bridgeton and eventually New Jersey State Police troopers to Cooper University Hospital in Camden where one subject was ultimately detained for questioning having been treated for a gunshot wound,” the Bridgeton Police Department added.
A collaborative investigation into Mosley’s death is currently being carried out by the Bridgeton Police Department, the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office, and the New Jersey State Police Major Crime Bureau.
Bridgeton Chief of Police Michael Gaimari stated in a statement, “All of law enforcement feels the loss deeply, but our hearts go out to her family and friends including those that worked with her daily, it’s truly devastating.”
A short distance from Mosley’s residence is the Bridgeton location of the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office.
Mosley started working there in 2006 as a paralegal expert, according to officials, and joined the county detective department in 2009.
“Sergeant Mosley was a constant friend and role model for all those with whom she served and led in the law enforcement community throughout Cumberland County and beyond,” the prosecutor’s office stated. “Her CCPO family will never forget her, but she will be missed more than words can express. During this extremely trying time, our prayers and thoughts are with the family of Sergeant Mosley.”
Peter Andreyev, President of the New Jersey State Policemen’s Benevolent Association, added, “We will do whatever is necessary to help catch the people responsible.” “We are devastated by the news that one of our members was killed.”
