On the evening of July 1, 1974, 13-year-old Ralph Gordon was inside Litwin’s Food Market at Morton and Royden Streets in Camden when two men entered and announced a robbery. During the robbery gunfire erupted; six people inside the small grocery were shot and Ralph Gordon died of his wounds, the only fatality from the attack. Five other victims were taken to hospital with varying injuries.

Camden police quickly investigated the holdup and identified suspects. A 20-year-old man was arrested and charged with murder and five counts of atrocious assault and battery; a second person was later taken into custody on the same charges.

Does anyone remember that night at Litwin’s or have information about the victims or the arrests?
