Timothy Thomas, a 48-year-old Black man, was shot dead inside his Palmyra home in the early morning hours of March 19, 2022. He was resting in the living room on the 400 block of Cinnaminson Avenue around 2:30 a.m. when multiple gunshots were fired through the exterior walls; Thomas was struck in the chest. A relative who was in the living room was not injured. Thomas was taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden but died shortly before 4 a.m.

Investigators have described the attack as a targeted, multi-shooter assault. Authorities believe the suspects fled on foot toward the Delaware River. The Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office and the Palmyra Police Department are handling the investigation; no arrests have been announced.

Anyone with information about the shooting or who may have seen people moving toward the river that night is asked to come forward.
