Man Sentenced In 2014 Audubon Murder

A Camden man has been sentenced to 58 years in New Jersey state prison after being convicted of murder in the 2014 fatal shooting of an Audubon man, according to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office.

Brandon Mosby, 27, was previously found guilty of second-degree possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose, second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon and second-degree certain persons not to possess weapons in the death of 48-year-old John Carey.

Mosby must serve 46 years, six months of his sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
Carey was shot at a home on the 500 block of the White Horse Pike on Tuesday, March 4, 2014.

At the trial, Assistant Prosecutor Nevan Soumilas presented evidence and testimony showing Mosby killed Carey because Carey interfered as Mosby was beating his ex-girlfriend after she broke up with him earlier in the day, according to the prosecutor's office.

When the alleged assault spilled into a common area of the home, Carey intervened in an attempt to protect the woman and her toddler, according to the prosecutor's office. The evidence presented at trial showed that Mosby shot Carey once in the torso and then fled the scene, according to the prosecutor's office.

The family, who was present at sentencing, told the court that John Carey was a good Samaritan who lost his life while helping others.
