On the night of September 27, 2015, 34-year-old Jose Franco was walking alone on River Road in Camden, New Jersey, at about 11:30 p.m. Surveillance footage later showed two men stalking him. The men, Reymond Pagan and Samuel Lopez, confronted Franco at gunpoint, took a bag from him and one of the assailants rifled through his pockets. Franco was shot in the chest, tried to run for help, and was found minutes later near North 28th Street and Pierce Avenue. He was taken to Cooper University Hospital and died the next day.

Investigators used surveillance video, cell phone evidence and witness statements to identify Pagan and Lopez. Reymond Pagan was arrested December 3, 2015; Samuel Lopez was captured December 10, 2015. Both were charged in connection with the robbery and fatal shooting. Jose Franco was the second son his family lost to gun violence in that neighborhood; his brother had been shot to death four years earlier.

Did anyone in Camden see Franco that night or have information about the confrontation on River Road?
