Tyriq Smith was 20 when he was shot and killed in Camden, New Jersey, in the early hours of August 31, 2019. Around 12:50 a.m. a ShotSpotter activation led officers to the 1200 block of Sheridan Street, where Smith was found with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Cooper University Hospital but died shortly after 1 a.m.

Smith’s death was recorded as the city’s 21st homicide that year, ending more than seven weeks without a reported killing and refocusing attention on gun violence in the Whitman Park neighborhood. The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office and Camden County Police Department opened an investigation and made public appeals, but the case has gone cold. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified, and the motive is unknown.

If anyone has information that could help investigators or knew Tyriq, please contact the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office or Camden County Police Department.
