On the evening of September 8, 2017, 26-year-old Jerry Luis Mass of Pennsauken, New Jersey, was found dead in his Stockton Avenue apartment with a fatal gunshot wound. Pennsauken police responded to a 911 call around 5:25 p.m., and investigators quickly determined the death was a homicide that occurred during an armed robbery.

The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office identified two suspects. Damian Sanchez, 29, of Camden, and Danny Smith, 44, of Woodlynne, were charged in connection with the killing. Prosecutors say Sanchez and another unidentified man entered Mass’s apartment to rob him while Smith waited near the doorway; Mass was shot during the robbery and the three fled in a car allegedly driven by Smith. A safe containing $10,000 was stolen, a theft witnessed by a woman holding a young child.

Smith was arrested at his home on September 21, 2017, and faced charges including first-degree felony murder, armed robbery, and weapons offenses. U.S. Marshals arrested Sanchez on October 3, 2017, on felony murder and conspiracy to commit robbery charges; both men were being held in the Camden County Correctional Facility pending trial. If anyone knew Jerry Mass or was in the Stockton Avenue area that evening, please share what you know.
