A Bridgeton man is jailed in the fatal shooting of his former girlfriend.

Alex Blocker, 35, is charged with murder and weapons offenses in the death of Shanelle Stewart.

The 25-year-old Vineland woman was found fatally shot in a vehicle in the 2000 block of Wheaton Avenue in Millville just before 1 a.m. Thursday.

Details of the attack were not released.

Blocker and Stewart have two children, a 4-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son, family confirmed.

The two were apparently no longer together.

The investigation is ongoing.

Blocker remains in the Cumberland County jail pending a detention hearing.
