Shooting at Glassboro, NJ home kills 22-year-old man

GLASSBORO — A local 22-year-old man is dead after a shooting at a home a third of a mile away from Rowan University campus.

Around 1 a.m. early Friday morning, gunshots rang out at a home on the 200 block of University Boulevard, according to the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office.

Cops arrived at the residence and had to remove "several occupants" from the home to get to the victim. Travon Barker-Bordley, 22, of Glassboro, was found in a bedroom on the second floor of the home.

An autopsy confirmed the shooting was a homicide. Despite the killing, authorities say there is no risk to the public.

Police also noted that the home was not on campus and that the shooting did not impact Rowan University. It occurred about a third of a mile away from the campus athletic fields.

Prosecutors are encouraging witnesses with information to contact Detective Brandon Cohen at 856-384-5524.
