On the late evening of September 9, 2023, 31-year-old Alberto DeJesus, a Black/African American man known as Goldo, was shot while working as a cab driver in Camden, New Jersey. He had picked up a passenger on the 1700 block of South 9th Street in the Liberty Park neighborhood. During the short ride the passenger allegedly shot DeJesus near Norris and Furman streets. Gravely wounded, DeJesus continued driving for several blocks before his vehicle struck a utility pole at Norris Street and Lansdowne Avenue.

Officers from the Camden County Police Department arrived at the crash scene at about 11:45 p.m. and found DeJesus suffering from gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene just before midnight. The investigation led to 32-year-old Camden resident Jaffar Muhammad, who was charged on December 5, 2023 with first-degree murder and weapons offenses. Muhammad was already incarcerated on unrelated weapons charges when the murder charge was filed, and ballistics testing linked a ghost gun found in his possession to shell casings recovered from DeJesus’s cab.

Does anyone have information about DeJesus’s last fare or about activity in the Liberty Park area that night?
