Authorities say a man killed a woman trying to move out of the home they shared, then opened fire on her relatives in a car outside their apartment before taking his own life.
Gloucester County officials in South Jersey said Anthony J. Williams shot and killed Nina D. Sinclair-Green, Tuesday night while she was in the process of moving out of the Academy Arms Apartments unit they shared in Clayton.
Police say they were dispatched to the apartment complex just after 7 p.m. for reports of a domestic incident and a shooting.
Clayton police officers discovered the 45-year-old man and 43-year-old woman dead inside an apartment at 357 N Broad Street on May 7, 2024.
Police said the dead man and woman appeared to be involved in a murder-suicide after investigators determined that both Williams and Sinclair-Green lived in the home together.
Clayton police said officers responded to the North Broad Street location around 7 p.m. on May 7, 2024, for reports of a domestic incident and shots fired.
Police said Williams fatally shot Sinclair-Green inside the apartment, then discharged rounds from a semi-automatic handgun through an open front door at a vehicle in the parking lot outside.
Sinclair-Green was inside the apartment trying to pack her belongings while her family members were there to help her pack and move out. Bullets struck the vehicle occupied by Sinclair-Green’s relatives but none of them were injured.
Police said after discharging those rounds, Williams then turned the gun on himself and committed suicide while still inside the apartment.
According to the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office, the incident occurred around 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Academy Arms apartments on the 300 block of Broad Street, according to an account from the prosecutor’s office.
Sinclair-Green was packing her belongings to leave the apartment she shared with Williams. The vehicle held members of Sinclair-Green’s family, who were at the scene to her her move.
Authorities determined Sinclair-Green died from multiple gunshot wounds, and her manner of death was homicide. Williams died from a single shot in a suicide, the prosecutor’s office said.
