Somers Point Man Accused of Killing Relative Found Dead in Atlantic City, NJ

A published report says a Somers Point man who was accused of killing a relative near Washington, DC, earlier this week was found dead in Atlantic City.

WUSA-TV reported late Monday night, police in Prince George's County, Maryland, were called to a home in the town of Brandywine for a report of a shooting.

There, they found 62-year-old Lewis Parker, Sr., suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital where he died a short time later.

Investigators determined Parker's nephew, 29-year-old Elijah Drew of Somers Point, was a suspect in his death.

The station reported Drew was found dead from what officials believe to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Atlantic City the next day.

It is not yet known why Drew allegedly killed Parker.
