Police Seek Persons of Interest in South Jersey Shooting

Police are searching for three persons of interest in connection with a fatal shooting that took place in South Jersey Saturday night.

Two Camden County Police Department officers were sitting in a marked patrol vehicle parked on the 300 block of Broadway in Camden when they heard several gunshots coming from the area of Broadway and Benson Street Tuesday night.

Moments later, a man came running toward them, but collapsed just before reaching their car.

Less than two hours later, 19-year-old Camden man Saadiq Coleman was pronounced dead.

Police heard the shots around 8:29 p.m. After Coleman collapsed in the street, he was transported to Cooper University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:07 p.m.

Surveillance video cameras captured three persons of interest in the area of the homicide.

The video footage shows two males and one female walking on Broadway near Cooper Medical School of Rowan University.

That footage is attached to this post.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Detective Michael Rhoads at 856-225-8561 or Camden County Police Department Detective Elvin Nunez at 856-757-7420.
