All three suspects in the Aug. 7 shooting of two undercover Camden County police officers are now in custody, Camden County Police Chief Scott Thomson announced Tuesday night.

Alexander DeJesus, of Philadelphia, and Ammar Hall, of Camden, were arrested in the Kensington section of Philadelphia on Tuesday, Thomson announced. Juan Figueroa, the third suspect in the shooting, was arrested without incident in Gloucester City on Saturday.

Hall was arrested at about 5:20 p.m., and DeJesus was arrested an hour later, according to the Courier Post. They were both arrested without incident. The weapons have not yet been recovered, and their motive remains unknown. Police identified the suspects after receiving phone calls from members of the public.

The two plainclothes officers were in an unmarked car that was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Broadway and Walnut streets at about 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 7, when they were approached by a van. Two men got out of the van and fired 25 rounds at them in seven seconds, Thomson said.

One of the officers fired back, and the two people who had opened fire on the car fled the scene. The white van police believe they used in the shooting was recovered the same night.
