Jose Alvarez was 35 when he was shot behind an apartment building at the All American Gardens complex in Camden on September 13, 2015. Police arrived after a 10:21 p.m. report and found him on the ground; he was taken to Cooper University Hospital and pronounced dead at 10:41 p.m.

The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office and the Camden County Police Department led the investigation. Authorities identified 19-year-old Armando Perez, also known as Peeto or Pito, as a suspect and ran a manhunt; a $2,500 reward was offered and law enforcement warned he should be considered armed and extremely dangerous.

A related development the following month raised questions for investigators: Jose’s 25-year-old brother William Alvarez was found shot in his car on October 29, 2015, and authorities said they were examining any possible connection between the two killings. If anyone has information about Jose Alvarez or the suspect Armando Perez, please share what is known with investigators.
