Two Vineland residents were arrested and charged in connection with the shooting on Sunday, according to Webb-McRae. Eric Bundy-Johnson, 34, was charged with first-degree murder, criminal attempt, conspiracy and weapons charges. Francessca Delvalle, 34, faces a first-degree murder charge, conspiracy, hindering and tampering.

McRae did not disclose a motive for the shooting, the relationship between the victims and the suspects or when the shooting took place.

Hitchens' daughter told 6 ABC Action News that Hitchens didn't deserve to be shot.

"She always brought a light. Anybody that was sad she could turn their day into the best day ever," the family told 6 ABC Action News.

His family said he was Hitchens' longtime boyfriend and had been shot three times.
