Camden, N.J. – A grand jury has chosen to indict the man and woman allegedly responsible for the homicide of a Gloucester Township man in October of 2019, according to Acting Camden County Prosecutor Jill S. Mayer and Gloucester Township Police Chief David Harkins.
Chamberlin Robinson, 41, of Vineland and Rosalee Gomez, 36, of Franklinville, were indicted on one count of first-degree Felony Murder, two counts of second-degree Burglary, and one count of second-degree Conspiracy to Commit Burglary. Robinson was also indicted on one count of first-degree Murder, second-degree Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose and one count of second-degree Unlawful Possession of a Weapon.
Investigators said Robinson was reportedly part of a home invasion at a house on Yorkshire Road the night of Oct. 23, 2019. During the incident, Kevin Carter, 26, of Gloucester Township, arrived at the home and was fatally shot by Robinson after he didn’t comply with demands, according to detectives.
Through the investigation, detectives learned Gomez allegedly set up the home invasion to target an ex-boyfriend and drove Robinson and two others – who have not been identified – to the house to perform the crime. Carter was not the reported target.
NJ.com reported: The man, who dated Gomez for about a year, had spoken with Gomez’s current boyfriend about past infidelity, and his belief that she gave him a sexually transmitted disease.
An upset Gomez then hired a group of men, including Robinson, to commit the robbery. She drove around the Sicklerville neighborhood looking for her ex and then dropped the men off near the house, waiting in the car, detectives wrote in the affidavit.
Gomez gave an interview to detectives and said she was not in good standing with her ex and that she was looking for him when her Acura was spotted passing by the home at least five times the hour before the shooting.
Gomez told a witness (who later told detectives) that “everything went wrong, and the wrong person got hurt,” detectives wrote in the affidavit. Gomez told that witness she drove the men back to the Millville area and stopped at a Wawa, where she withdrew money from an ATM near the Oakview Apartments to pay them.
Investigators said after the homicide, Gomez dropped Robinson and the other two men off in Millville before going to get money to pay them for carrying out the home invasion.
Robinson and Gomez remain in jail awaiting trial.
