One person was killed and three others injured in a shooting at a “speakeasy” in Camden early Saturday morning, according to Camden County officials.
Police were on the 600 block of Ferry Avenue around 3:15 a.m. when they heard gunshots in the vicinity of a house. According to a statement issued Saturday afternoon by Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo and Police Chief Scott Thomson, when officers approached the property, a “residential speakeasy,” people were coming out of it. The four gunshot victims were found outside, Colalillo and Thomson said.
They were transported to Cooper University Hospital, where Resean McCormick, 27, of Camden, was pronounced dead at 4:30 a.m. The three others -- two males, ages 35 and 24, and a woman, 25 -- were being treated Saturday afternoon, according to Colalillo and Thomson’s statement. Their specific injuries were not disclosed.
Contrary to earlier reports by a Camden County spokesperson, no arrests have been made.
