On a Friday night in Camden, New Jersey, the sound of gunfire pierced the air in the Branch Village area. It was approximately 10:30 p.m. on November 20, 2015, when a shooting surveillance system registered the shots, prompting a police response. Upon their arrival, officers discovered a car riddled with bullet holes and surrounded by shell casings, but the vehicle was empty.
A search of the vicinity led to the discovery of 29-year-old Quandale Barnes, a male resident of Camden, who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Known to his loved ones by the nickname 'BooBoo,' Barnes was rushed to Cooper Hospital for medical attention. Despite the efforts of the medical staff, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at approximately 11:45 p.m. that same night. The incident left his family and friends grappling with a sudden and violent loss. His funeral service was later held at the Carl Miller Funeral Home, followed by his interment at Harleigh Cemetery.
In the wake of the shooting, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation into Barnes's death. However, the case has proven to be a difficult one to solve. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with the homicide, and authorities have not publicly identified any suspects. The investigation remains open, and law enforcement officials continue to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the case. The community continues to await justice for the death of Quandale Barnes.
