Authorities say a man found dead in the front yard of a southern New Jersey home this week died from a gunshot wound to the head.
Atlantic County prosecutors identified the victim on Saturday as 52-year-old Franklin Dwayne Gant Smith, who was also known as Kevin Charm. But it's still not clear how he ended up at the Northfield home late Friday morning or how long his body had been there before it was found.
The death has been ruled a homicide, but a motive for the shooting remains under investigation. Prosecutors say it's not yet known where Smith had been living in recent weeks.
Atlantic County prosecutors declined to disclose further information on the shooting, citing the ongoing investigation.
