N.J. officials offer a reward in the burning death of a homeless man

    Officials are looking for help in the two-month old murder investigation of a homeless man in New Jersey and they are offering a reward for information leading to an arrest.

     

    The body of 65-year old Paul Johnson was found on the second floor of an abandoned Camden home. According to ABC 6, the cause of death was reported as smoke inhalation. The fire has been ruled arson and officials believe the man was specifically targeted.

    A $1,000 reward is now being offered for information.
