Seventeen-year-old James Zemek was fatally shot in Camden, New Jersey, on the evening of May 30, 2007. He was found on a sidewalk near Broadway and Emerald Street with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officials initially announced arrests in the case: 15-year-old Zoran Harris (later to be tried as an adult), 18-year-old Gregory Kellum, and 19-year-old Naquan Johnson. Prosecutors said the three had arranged to meet Zemek to buy a gun, the transaction allegedly went wrong, and Zemek was shot in the back as he tried to run away. Johnson was later killed in July 2010 during an attempted apprehension in connection with other crimes.

Later reporting paints a conflicting picture, indicating the murder investigation is considered unsolved and that public information about any final legal outcomes for Harris and Kellum is unclear. If anyone knew James, saw him that night, or has information that could clarify what happened, please share what is known.
