On Wednesday, January 16, 2019 at about 2:48 p.m., gunfire erupted at the intersection of Morton and Norris Streets in Camden, New Jersey. Officers who responded found 39-year-old Mutota Amon on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Cooper University Hospital but died there a short time later.

The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office and Camden County Police circulated images seeking help identifying a person of interest. Days after the shooting an arrest was made. On Sunday, January 20, authorities took a 27-year-old Camden resident, Rashaad Allen, into custody at the prosecutor’s office; he was charged with first-degree murder and held at the Camden County Correctional Facility pending a pretrial detention hearing.
