Death of Carla Mahan: Suspect in hit-and-run in Camden is accused of intentionally attacking and killing woman

CAMDEN, N.J. (WPVI) — A driver is facing murder charges in connection with a hit-and-run crash that left a woman dead last week.

It happened before 3:30 p.m. on September 25th at 7th and Tulip Streets in Camden.

At the scene, officers found 41-year-old Carla Mahan lying on a grassy lot. She was taken to Cooper University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

On Tuesday, authorities announced a first-degree murder charge against 30-year-old Ajee Williams. She turned herself in to Camden County police on September 28th.

According to the criminal complaint, the video shows a gray Dodge Durango arriving at the intersection of South 7th Street and Tulip Street around 3:09 p.m. The video reportedly shows a pedestrian walking toward the passenger side of the Durango before walking toward the grassy area.

The vehicle is then seen reversing before driving over a curb towards the area where the pedestrian was walking.

Investigators allege Williams intentionally struck Mahan before fleeing the scene around 3:13 p.m

The vehicle, which authorities say was registered to Williams, was found and later examined as evidence. The criminal complaint states that human tissue, flesh and hair were recovered from underneath the SUV.

There may have been children in the vehicle at the time of the incident.

According to authorities, the video also shows Williams picking up two children at school and then driving toward the scene of the accident around 3:05 p.m

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Detective Daniel Crawford of the Camden County Prosecutor's Office Homicide Unit at (856) 580-2223.
