Police did say officers had arrived at Boyd's home around 8 p.m. Saturday where they discovered Matthews. The victim was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead, the prosecutor's office said.

By the time cops arrived, Boyd allegedly had fled the scene. Surveillance footage from the area showed "Boyd leaving the apartment shortly after the shooting and traveling to an area nearby," authorities said. 

Boyd was arrested Wednesday in Mt. Holly, Burlington County, by the Camden Division of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.

In addition to first-degree murder, Boyd faces weapons offenses and other related charges. He is being held at the Camden County Correctional Facility.
