On the evening of October 20, 2016, 23-year-old Jamir Syms was shot on the 700 block of Chestnut Street in Camden, New Jersey. Police received multiple 911 calls around 8:33 p.m.; officers found Syms on the sidewalk and he was taken to Cooper University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:43 p.m. His death was reported as the city’s 36th homicide that year.

Investigators determined the shooting began as a robbery involving three men. Surveillance footage showed the three, who were considered armed and dangerous, and police released those images to the public. An acquaintance of one suspect later identified him after seeing the video, leading to the January 2017 arrest of 29-year-old Camden resident Rajhadd Kilpatrick on charges of felony murder and armed robbery. The robbery victim identified Kilpatrick as the person who shot Syms; a motion to suppress Kilpatrick’s statement to police was denied. In June 2019 Kilpatrick pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and received a 15-year sentence; the appellate court later upheld the conviction.

Does anyone have information about that night on Chestnut Street or about the three men seen on surveillance?
