CAMDEN COUNTY PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
VINCENT P. SARUBBI, CAMDEN COUNTY PROSECUTOR
MEDIA   INFORMATION

March 8, 2005

Camden County Prosecutor Vincent P. Sarubbi and Camden Police Chief Edwin J. Figueroa reported that Kenneth D. Pearson, M/28, was shot and killed early this morning in his home in the 1200 block of Sheridan Street in Camden.

Investigators believe the shooting may have been drug-related. A quantity of marijuana was seized from the home.

Police responded to the home at approximately 12:53 a.m. and found the victim, who was unresponsive and had suffered an obvious gunshot wound to the head. Pearson was dead at the scene.

Preliminary investigation indicates that after a knock on the front door, an armed man with his face concealed and wearing dark clothing forced his way inside and began to argue with the victim. The gunman took Pearson to a first-floor room, where they continued to argue, and then fired a handgun and killed Pearson before fleeing.

Anyone with information on the case is urged to call Investigator Matt Woshnak of the Camden County Prosecutor's Office and at (856) 225-8400 or Camden Police Detective Wayne Matthews at (856) 757-7420. Information will be kept confidential.
