On the evening of August 8, 2016, 21-year-old Braniya James was standing outside a barbershop on the 800 block of South 6th Street in Camden when she was struck by multiple bullets to the upper body. The shots occurred about 8:45 p.m.; Braniya was taken to Cooper University Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. An 18-year-old woman, Essynce Blakney, was also wounded and survived.

Investigators used eyewitness accounts and surveillance footage to identify 23-year-old Robinson Vazquez Jr. as the suspected shooter. Witnesses said a man matching Vazquez’s appearance rode a bicycle toward the barbershop, opened fire, and then pedaled away; one witness who knew him positively identified him, and a distinctive bull’s-eye tattoo between his eyes was noted. Vazquez fled the state but was arrested in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, on September 7, 2016, and extradited to New Jersey to face murder and attempted murder charges. He was held on $1.5 million bail. The motive has not been stated.

Did anyone in the area remember seeing a man on a bicycle that night or have information about what led up to the shooting?
