CAMDEN — A man sought in the weekend shooting death of a U.S. Marine turned himself in to authorities Wednesday morning, police said.

Darrell Crone, 31, of the 1200 block of Park Boulevard in Camden, turned himself in at the Camden County Police Department Administration Building around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to a release from Camden County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk and Camden County Police Chief Scott Thomson.

Crone is charged with murder in the shooting death of Timothy Loper Jr.

It is alleged that Crone was involved in an altercation outside 20 Horse Tavern at the intersection of 2nd and Spruce streets in Camden around 2:45 a.m. Sunday.

He allegedly brandished a firearm and shot Loper, who was attempting to break up the fight.

An arraignment is expected to be held Thursday.

Loper was discharged from the Marines last year.
