Wesley L. Nelms, a 20-year-old Black man, was found with a single fatal gunshot wound to the chest on the 1100 block of Chase Street in Camden on November 9, 2014. Emergency responders took him to Cooper University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Authorities reported a second fatal shooting in the city that same day but said the incidents were not believed to be connected.

Investigators did not identify a suspect or an established motive in Wesley’s killing, and no arrests or public naming of suspects have been reported. His funeral was held November 21, 2014, at Ferry Avenue United Methodist Church in Camden. The case remains unsolved; anyone with information about Wesley or that night is asked to come forward.
