Man, 24, is shot and killed in Camden

CAMDEN - A 24-year-old man was fatally shot on a Lanning Square street corner Tuesday night.

David Serrano was gunned down shortly after 7 p.m. near 4th and Clinton streets, said the Camden County Prosecutor's Office. He was pronounced dead at 7:20 p.m. at Cooper University Hospital.

On Wednesday, a small memorial to Serrano rose outside a bodega at the intersection, which is about a half-mile from Camden City Hall. A rosary and two plush dolls hung from a sapling near the curb; foam cups with handwritten messages were placed atop votive candles on the ground to protect their flames from the wind.

Two young men tending to the memorial around noon walked away from a reporter. A worker inside the T&C Food Market declined to comment.

Serrano was the 33rd person to be slain in Camden this year, a group that includes two men killed in police-involved shootings. The city had 32 homicides at this time in 2014.

An investigation into the shooting is ongoing. No arrests have been made at this time.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Prosecutor’s Detective Chris Sarson at (856) 225-8640 or Camden County Police Detective Michael Shomo at (856) 757-7420.
