Sheila Baskins, 74, was sitting in the front passenger seat of her car on the 1800 block of Mulford Street in Camden on the morning of October 4, 2020, preparing to go grocery shopping when multiple gunshots rang out. Struck by a bullet while her grandson was helping her get situated, she was rushed to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators concluded the shooting was a case of mistaken identity: the intended target was Baskins’s grandson, who had reportedly been in a confrontation with the alleged shooter days earlier and was believed by prosecutors to have been targeted for allegedly providing information to law enforcement. Detectives say the grandson identified 23-year-old Dayshawn Nesmith of Camden as the man who approached the car and fired. Surveillance footage, cell phone records placing Nesmith at the scene, and a gray sweatshirt with gunshot residue that matched what the shooter was wearing were also cited.

Nesmith was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and related gun offenses and detained pending trial. Did anyone in the area see activity on Mulford Street that morning or know more about the confrontation referenced by prosecutors?
