Marlton Avenue & Berwick Street

Acting Camden County Prosecutor James P. Lynch and Camden Police Executive Robert L. Stewart reported on June 10, 2006 that a 27-year-old Camden man was shot to death the previous night outside a corner store in Camden, N.J.

The victim, Andres Camacho Jr., suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was dead at the scene, on Berwick Street near Marlton Pike in East Camden.

Camacho entered a corner store at Marlton Pike and Berwick Street at approximately 9:50 p.m. on June 9, 2006. He made a purchase, left the store and walked a short distance south on Berwick Street. The victim was standing on the sidewalk beside the store when a lone shooter approached on foot from the direction of Marlton Pike, shot Camacho from close range, and fled on foot back toward Marlton Pike.

Images of the shooter were captured on surveillance video as he approached the victim and as he fled. Authorities urged citizens who believed they might recognize the suspect to contact investigators.
