CHERRY HILL, NJ — A murder suspect was arrested in Cherry Hill Saturday night, Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo and Camden County Police Chief Scott Thomson announced.

Cahlil Felix, 23, of Pennsauken, was arrested without incident and charged in connection with the
fatal shooting of 27-year-old Jovany Torres, of Camden. Felix is one of two people who have been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in Torres’s death.

Kelly Joyner-Stewart, 23, of Philadelphia, has also been charged. Joyner-Stewart is currently being held in a New Jersey State Correctional Facility.

Camden County Police discovered Torres in the area of 27th and Berkley Streets in Camden at about 12:41 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6, while responding to reports of a man who had been shot. Torres was lying on the ground suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Cooper University Hospital and was later pronounced deceased at about 1:04 p.m.
