PAULSBORO, NJ — A Gloucester County man killed a woman, shot a child, and then called 911 on himself on Saturday, authorities said.

Ramon Luis Acevedo shot a woman in the head Saturday morning inside a home on Paulsboro's Elizabeth Avenue, authorities said. Acevedo then shot a minor, who fled the home, according to the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office.

Police found the woman dead inside a bedroom. Authorities didn't immediately share her name or her relationship to the suspect.

The child began medical treatment for a gunshot wound on Saturday.

The Paulsboro man was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree aggravated assault and second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

He is detained in the Salem County Correctional Facility, which provides jailing services for Gloucester County.
