Manhunt Continues After Man Tries To Save Slain Wife's Life

A husband desperately flagged down police after his wife was shot while they were inside their car in Camden earlier this month. He was ultimately successful in drawing the attention of local cops, but it was too late to save the woman he loved.

He flagged them down near Broadway and Kaighns Avenue in Camden just before 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 11, according to Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo and Camden County Police Chief Scott Thomson.

Michelle Huelas, 46, of Burlington Township, was transported by EMS to Cooper University Hospital where she was pronounced dead at about 4:20 p.m.

Her obituary lists her as a resident of Buena Vista Township in Atlantic County. She is survived by three children and two grandchildren. She was buried in Hammonton this week.

A spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office told the Courier Post that “actions in the investigation” prevented the prosecutor’s office from announcing the murder earlier.

Twelve days after the fatal shooting, the investigation continues. No arrests had been made as of Thursday morning.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Detective Andrew McNeil at 856-225-8407 or Camden County Police Detective Shawn Donlon at 856-757-7420. Information may also be emailed to ccpotips@ccprosecutor.org.
