Police in Camden are searching for three men they say ambushed and shot two detectives in the South Jersey city last week.
Alexander DeJesus, 19, Ammar Hall, 26, and Juan Figueroa, 20, are charged with first-degree criminal attempted murder in the attack that happened on Aug. 7 at Mt. Vernon Street and Broadway.
Police said the officers, who were operating undercover, were sitting at a red light when two of the men walked up and fired at least 10 rounds. One officer was hit in the hand and the other twice in the shoulder.
The men were last seen fleeing the area in a white work van, police said. Authorities initially released surveillance photos of persons of interest, but Friday announced charges against the men.
Police believe DeJesus, Hall and Figueora are still in the Philadelphia region. A $60,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest in the case.
The officers were released from the hospital on Thursday. They remain on leave.
