A 21-year-old man was charged with murder in connection with an August drive-by shooting in Lawnside, New Jersey.
Nicholas Stiegler was arrested Friday after being accused of shooting and killing George Rivera, 25, on Aug. 21 on West Hodges Avenue.
During the investigation, detectives determined that Stiegler shot Rivera from inside a red Jeep Compass, according to Camden County prosecutors. Rivera was taken to a hospital in a private vehicle, where he died later that night.
Investigators also reviewed surveillance video that captured the Jeep traveling from Camden to the shooting location in Lawnside and then back to Camden.

The murder suspect has a hearing scheduled for Oct. 23.
