BRIDGETON, NJ- A detective of the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office was shot and killed in a home invasion attack on her own residence on Tuesday, according to police sources cited by ABC News.
Detective Sgt. Monica Mosley, 51, was found dead at the scene of her Bridgeton, New Jersey home. Area law enforcement had come to Mosley's home, acting in response to a report of "several subjects kicking in a front door at a residence," according to a news release from the Bridgeton Police Department.
One individual- being treated for a gunshot wound at Cooper University Hospital in Camden- was detained by law enforcement for questioning regarding the incident as of Wednesday, according to the New York Post. This individual has not been publicly identified. Authorities have yet to make any arrests or file any criminal charges in connection to Mosley's murder. It is unclear if Mosley's killing was connected to the longtime detective's law enforcement duties.
Mosley began her career with the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office in 2006 as a paralegal specialist, becoming a county detective for the agency in 2009. She served on the office's Trial Teams, Special Victims Unit, the Community Justice Unit and the Professional Standards Unit.
Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae mourned Mosley in a statement- sharing sentiments that other law enforcement agencies associated with the southern Jersey county also reciprocated. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy also memorialized Mosley after the shooting, describing the homicide as an attack on the state's law enforcement community.
"She served our community with honor, dignity and respect before her untimely passing," Webb-McRae said of the deceased.
“Sergeant Mosley was a constant friend and role model for all those with whom she served and led in the law enforcement community throughout Cumberland County and beyond."

“She will be missed more than words can detail, but she will never be forgotten by her CCPO family. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sergeant Mosley’s family at this most difficult time.”
“All of law enforcement feels the loss deeply, but our hearts go out to her family and friends including those that worked with her daily, it’s truly devastating,” Bridgeton Chief of Police Michael Gaimari said of Mosley, who he described as someone he'd known for his entire law enforcement career.
