Thomas Smith, 67, was shot and killed while riding a bicycle in Camden, New Jersey, on August 15, 2021. At about 3:30 a.m. near Kaighn Avenue and Louis Street, first responders found Smith on the sidewalk with gunshot wounds; he was taken to Cooper University Hospital and pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

Investigators reviewed surveillance footage and determined the shots were fired from a passing vehicle, identified as a 2000 Nissan Maxima with distinctive taillight damage. Police followed the car’s movements and located it in the parking lot of an apartment building in Audubon. A shell casing recovered from that vehicle matched the caliber and make of casings at the scene, and footage from the Audubon building showed a man carrying a tote bag that later tested positive for gunshot residue.

If anyone saw the Maxima around Kaighn Avenue and Louis Street that morning or recognizes the described tote bag, please share what is known with the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office or local detectives.
