Investigators are assessing the scene of a shooting incident that occurred in Winslow Township Wednesday afternoon.

On Wednesday, officers from the Winslow Township Police Department responded to the unit block of Bromley Court at approximately 2:03 p.m. for a report of a person shot.
Police say they found a gunshot victim in a parked vehicle, identified as 33-year-old Domincio Fuhrtz of Winslow Township. The victim was transported to Cooper University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at approximately 3:01 p.m.
Detectives are asking anyone with information to contact Detective Luis Sibaja of the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit or Detective Rick Wells of the Winslow Township Police Department.
The investigation is active and ongoing, and police have not made any arrests.
What they're saying:
"It's definitely not the norm over here but it could happen anywhere and anytime," said Phil Gaspara.
He and other neighbors are reacting to the shooting of 33-year-old Domincio Fuhrtz.
"We haven't had any incidents in this neighborhood. I have been here ten years so yeah it is a little surprising sure," said Gaspara.
He says his kids were out playing basketball with friends when they heard gunshots.
"They came inside and said dad we just heard some gunshots, and I said naw you didn't hear gunshots. This is Atco. It do not really happen here. It is always a good neighborhood but then three minutes later all these police started coming into the neighborhood," he said.
Next to a black SUV where neighbors say the victim was shot, there were several evidence markers on the ground on the passenger side.
Keisha Howard lives across the street and came home to find her street blocked off with crime scene tape. "Absolutely it's concerning," she said.
Police went door to door talking to residents. We also noticed ring cameras that could help with the investigation. Investigators removed evidence from the scene in bags and just before six o’clock a tow truck took away the SUV.
"It's a fine neighborhood. I believe it is a very isolated incident and let us hope it does not happen here again," said Gaspara.
