On April 13, 2018, 24-year-old Laron Hornsby was shot on the sidewalk in the 1200 block of Everett Street near Norris Street in Camden, New Jersey. Officers responded after a series of 911 calls and an alert from the city’s gunshot-detection system; Hornsby was taken to Cooper University Hospital but was pronounced dead about three hours after the shooting. His death was recorded as the seventh homicide in Camden that year.

The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office and the Camden County Police Department opened an investigation and asked the public for help. No arrests were made at the time and the case went cold; the investigation remains open and detectives are still seeking information that could identify a suspect or suspects and bring closure to the family and community.

If anyone has information about Hornsby’s killing or was in the Norris and Everett streets area that afternoon, please share what you know with investigators.
