Kwacey Owens Charged With First-Degree Murder In Shooting Death Of Willingboro Man, Prosecutors Say

WILLINGBORO, N.J. (CBS) -- The Burlington County Prosecutor's Office says a suspect has been charged in the shooting death of a man outside of his Willingboro home. Barry Barino, 28, was shot and killed outside his home on Maplewick Lane on Oct. 8.

Authorities say 29-year-old Kwacey Owens, of Willingboro, has been charged with first-degree murder and other related charges in Barino's shooting death.

Owens was served with the warrant on Tuesday in the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly, where he has been held since being arrested last week on a weapons charge related to this case.

Authorities say Owens and Barino were acquaintances and that Owens was inside the victim's home a short time before luring him outside to shoot him.

The motive for the deadly shooting remains under investigation.
