A New Jersey detective was murdered Tuesday night during a home invasion at her residence in Bridgeton.

Detective Sgt. Monica Mosley, with the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office, was fatally shot after “several subjects kicked in a front door” at her home, the Bridgeton Police Department said in a press release.

Mosley, 51, died at the scene, ABC reports.

An individual who had been treated for a gunshot wound at a hospital in Camden was detained for questioning in connection with the incident, police said. No additional information on the individual was released.

No arrests have been made or charges filed in the case as of Wednesday morning, police said.

Mosley began her career at the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office, located in Bridgeton, in 2006 as a paralegal specialist. She became a county detective in 2009, "where she served our community with honor, dignity and respect before her untimely passing," Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae said in a statement.

Mosley served in several units of the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office, including Trial Teams, the Special Victims Unit, the Community Justice Unit and the Professional Standards Unit, where she was assigned as the unit supervisor, the office said.
