In the winter of 2022, a violent act shattered the quiet of a Camden neighborhood. On the evening of January 28th, police were called to a home on the 1400 block of Collings Road in the Fairview section of the city. Inside, they found 61-year-old Eric Beverly suffering from a gunshot wound. The urgent rush to Cooper Hospital was not enough to save him, and he was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival, at approximately 10:15 p.m.
The Camden County Prosecutor's Office, along with the
Camden County Police Department, immediately began an investigation into the shooting death of the Camden resident. Detectives worked the scene, gathering evidence and seeking to piece together the events that led to the fatal shooting. Authorities reached out to the public, asking for anyone with information to come forward and assist in their efforts to find who was responsible for this act of violence.
Despite the ongoing investigation and the pleas for public assistance, the trail for those responsible for Eric Beverly's death grew cold. As time passed, no arrests were publicly announced, and no suspects were identified in connection with the homicide. The case remains an open and active investigation, leaving a family to grieve and a community to wonder when, or if, justice will be served for the loss of one of their own.
