2 Arrested In Case Of 'Black Hooded Killers' Accused Of Killing N.J. Woman: Police

Two people have been arrested in the death of a 45-year-old South Jersey woman who was fatally shot in her home last month, Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo and Winslow Township Police Chief George Smith said on Thursday.

Tyler Dralle, 20, of Vineland, and a 17-year-old boy from New Castle, Delaware, were both charged with one count of felony murder in the death of Deanna Scordo.

Scordo was shot and killed inside her home on the 700 block of Bairdmore Avenue in Winslow Township at about 3:49 a.m. on June 25, 2017.

A 911 call obtained by Patch shows her father telling the dispatcher that two men wearing black hoods broke into the home, shot his daughter, and left her in a corner.

Detectives pursued multiple leads in the weeks that followed, and offered a $5,000 reward for any information that lead to arrests and convictions in the case. Ultimately, detectives determined Dralle and the teenager were involved in the murder.

Dralle was charged on Monday, and was arrested by the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force on Tuesday. He was arrested without incident at his home and remanded to Camden County Jail.

The teenager was charged on Wednesday, and is being held in a juvenile facility in Delaware, police said.
Dralle’s pretrial detention hearing is scheduled for Friday morning. Under the recent Criminal Justice Reform rules, the court may order he be detained without bail or released with conditions.
