Jonathan Rojas, an 18-year-old Hispanic/Latino from Camden, New Jersey, was shot to death on the morning of July 30, 2018, while seated in a vehicle near Fourth Street and Kaighns Avenue. A gunman riding a red bicycle approached the car at about 7:42 a.m. and fired a semiautomatic handgun five times; Rojas and the passenger, Devon Fisher, were struck. Fisher survived; Rojas died at hospital later that morning.

Investigators recovered extensive evidence at the scene and inside the vehicle, including shattered glass, bullet fragments and five .40-caliber shell casings. Surveillance video and a ShotSpotter activation showed a silver Chevrolet in the area that picked up a bicyclist shortly after the shooting and drove to a nearby residence. Police arrested Jermaine Venable of Clementon and Dametre Tokley of Camden the same day and found a .40-caliber Glock Model 22 in a closet at the residence; a firearms examiner later linked the casings and bullet fragments to that handgun. Venable was tried and convicted by a jury; an appellate court later affirmed his convictions and sentence.

Did anyone in the community know Jonathan, his plans for college, or anything about that morning that could add detail to the timeline?
