Police arrested a man who allegedly shot a homeless woman who was set to testify in court.
On October 23, police say 32-year-old Allan Mattocks was arrested at an auto auction on Route 68 in Manheim, New Jersey where he was washing cars.
On April 10, 2012, Mattocks allegedly beat Stephanie Warren, a 48-year-old homeless woman, unconscious on Boyd Street in Camden.
Mattocks was arrested and charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault and criminal restraint in connection to the incident. Warren was set to testify against him in a trial on May 20.
To prevent her from testifying, Mattocks allegedly abducted Warren on April 12 of this year. Police say he took Warren to a vacant lot behind 502 Rand Street in Camden and then shot her in the head.
Warren survived the shooting but suffered significant brain injury.
