Police responding to East Centre Street in Woodbury found Garcia's body outside his residence around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, the prosecutor's office revealed.

Oswald used a handgun to shoot Garcia once in the forehead at point blank range, instantly killing him, police said. The county medical examiner determined the death a homicide.

Oswald had forced himself into Garcia's home, stealing three cellphones and money from three victims, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed by police.

One of those victims, Ruiz, followed Oswald out of the home and across the street, where the robber pulled out a gun and shot him, the affidavit said.

Oswald, a factory worker, was taken into custody by the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office Fugitive Unit and the U.S. Marshals Service New York-New Jersey Fugitive Task Force.

He was charged with murder, robbery, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon, theft and burglary.

The affidavit said police obtained video surveillance near the crime scene that shows Oswald fleeing on foot at the time of the slaying.

Bernie Weisenfeld, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office, said Sunday the shooting was "not believed to be random."

Oswald is being held in Salem County Jail pending a detention hearing, the prosecutor's office reported.
