A Camden man wanted in connection with the murder of an Audubon man on March 4 has been charged after being captured on Friday, Camden County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk and Audubon Police Chief Thomas Tassi announced.

Brandon Mosby, 23, was captured by the U.S. Marshals New York/New Jersey Fugitive Task Force at around 1:30 a.m. Friday morning on the 1300 block of Van Hook Street in Camden.

He is charged with the murder of 48-year-old John Carey, of Audubon.

Mosby was allegedly involved in a domestic dispute with a woman living at the home, which is a single-family home that was converted into a boarding house. Carey was a renter at the house.

The dispute began in the woman’s room, but spilled out into a common living area, where Carey attempted to intervene on behalf of the woman.
