2 Teens Shot, 1 Killed While Standing Outside N.J. Home: Police

One teenager was killed and another was injured in a shooting that took place in New Jersey on Monday night, police said.

The two teens were standing outside a home on Plumtree Lane in Willingboro at about 8 p.m. when they were shot at from across the street, Burlington County Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi and Willingboro Director of Public Safety Gregory Rucker said Tuesday morning.

Ibn Perry, 16, was hit by gunfire and pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting took place outside his house.

Another 16-year-old boy was shot in the ankle. He was taken to Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County in Willingboro for treatment.

A third teen who was outside was not wounded.

No one had been arrested as of Tuesday morning, and no weapons had been recovered. The motive for the shooting was under investigation.

An autopsy was to be conducted Tuesday afternoon.

Law enforcement officials are asking anyone with information that may be helpful to investigators to contact the Willingboro Township Police Department Tip Line at 609-877-6958 or Burlington County Central Communications at 609-265-7113.

Perry was believed to be a student at Willingboro High School, according to the Burlington County Times. A candlelight vigil was being planned for Tuesday evening, and friends took to Twitter to talk about how everyone liked him and "no one had beef with Ib."
