MOUNT EPHRAIM, N.J. - Authorities have identified a New Jersey man who was found shot to death inside a crashed car on I-76 in Camden County late Monday night.
According to the New Jersey State Police, 48-year-old Louis E. Ciccanti was behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz when he was fatally shot around 10:30 p.m. near milepost 4.
Ciccanti's vehicle slammed into several sand-filled crash barrels and came to a stop, police said.

Hours after the deadly incident, investigators now believe that Ciccanti was shot at least one time while he was driving. State Police did not say if Ciccanti was alone inside the car when he was killed.
