A Camden teenager died from his injuries following a shooting that police say was sparked by an altercation during a party at a motel in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
Cherry Hill Police were called to the Inn of the Dove on the 700 block of Cuthbert Boulevard Sunday around 2:25 a.m. for a report of a person shot. When they arrived they learned two shooting victims had been driven by a private vehicle to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden.
One victim, 17-year-old Jadyre Gordon of Camden, was transferred from Our Lady of Lourdes to Cooper University Hospital where he later died from his injuries. Another victim, a 20-year-old Willingboro man, was treated at Our Lady of Lourdes and later released.
Investigators determined Gordon and the second victim were shot inside a vehicle in the parking lot near the front entrance of the Inn of the Dove following an altercation at a party in one of the rooms. No arrests have been made. Police continue to investigate.
If you have any information on the shooting, please call Camden County Prosecutor’s Office detective Jim Brining at 856-225-8439 or Cherry Hill Police detective Ed Williams at 856-488-7828.
