On the night of May 17, 2022, a ShotSpotter alert brought Camden County officers to the 700 block of State Street in Camden, New Jersey, shortly before 9:30 p.m. There they found 31-year-old Luis Vazquez-Garcia inside a vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Cooper University Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The shooting was the second fatal shooting in Camden that day.

The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit and the Camden County Police Department opened a joint investigation and sought the public’s help. Surveillance footage from the area reportedly captured a person approaching Vazquez-Garcia’s vehicle and firing multiple times. On May 24, 2022, 20-year-old Jason Mcallister of Camden surrendered to authorities and was arrested on murder and weapons charges; he was held at the Camden County Correctional Facility while the investigation continued.
