Camden Man Wanted in Pair of Shooting Murders Captured

A Camden man wanted in connection with a pair of shooting murders in the City has been captured, Camden County Police Chief Scott Thomson and Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo announced on Wednesday.

Elliot P. Nock, 31, a.k.a. Eliot Knock, was taken into custody early Wednesday morning at an apartment in Long Branch, Monmouth County, by members of the Camden Division and Newark Division of the U.S. Marshals New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force.

Nock is charged with two counts of Murder for two separate November 10th homicides.

Nock is charged with fatally shooting 37-year-old Nelson Jackson and 21-year-old Daniel Damon within hours of each other.

Jackson was found shot multiple times in front of a residence in the 800 block of Haddon Avenue. He died shortly thereafter.

Damon was fatally shot on the 700 block of Morgan Boulevard. He was dead when police arrived at the scene.

The shootings are among six shooting murders recorded within one week.

“With the recent spate of gun violence, the highest priority of Camden County law enforcement and its partners was to stem the violence and bring those responsible to justice as quickly as possible,” Thomson said. “The message is clear to those who decide to pull the trigger of a gun on our streets, you will feel the full weight of law enforcement and we will not rest until you are in custody.”
