Twin brothers shot and killed in double murder

CAMDEN, N.J. -- Investigators say the victims of a double homicide in Camden, New Jersey were twin brothers.

The bodies of Markice and Maurice Harper, both 26, were found after officers responded to the scene at 7:36 a.m. Friday at Collings Road and South Constitution Road.

Officers arrived to find the victims shot inside a vehicle. They were pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators believe the brothers had been dead for several hours before they were spotted by a passing driver.

The motive for the shooting remains under investigation. There have been no arrests.

Friends and family members on scene say the two lived good lives, and don't understand why the brothers were killed. Neighbors say they are shocked but didn't want to appear on camera - fearful because a suspect still on the loose.
