Teen Wanted For Killing South Jersey Man Turns Himself In: Prosecutor
Authorities considered the suspect armed and dangerous. He was on the run for nearly a week before turning himself in.

BRIDGETON, NJ — A teen who was wanted for killing a man in South Jersey turned himself in on Saturday, authorities said.
James E. Snead, Jr. fatally shot a man Nov. 24 in Bridgeton, according to the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office. Snead fled the area before police arrived. And since there wasn't a weapon at the scene, authorities told the public to consider him armed and dangerous.
Snead, 19, turned himself in Saturday evening. The state will move to keep him detained.
