Camden County Prosecutor Vincent P. Sarubbi and Camden Police Chief Edwin J. Figueroa reported that a $6,000 reward has been posted for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for killing Eduardo Troche, a.k.a. "Polo," who was shot to death on June 5, 2004, in Camden, N.J.

Investigation indicates that Troche, 31, was among a group of about a half dozen people socializing in front of a home near North 2nd and York streets at approximately 2:20 a.m. last June 5. Two shooters, believed to be males wearing masks, approached on foot from the west on York Street and began firing. The group scattered. The shooters fled in an unknown direction. Troche, of the 300 block of Mickle Street in Camden, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene.

The reward includes $1,000 from the Prosecutor's Office and $5,000 from the victim's family.

"We believe there are people with information about who is responsible for this cold-blooded crime," Sarubbi stated. "We implore them to contact detectives and help bring these dangerous individuals to justice."

Anyone with information is urged to call Senior Investigator Jeff Long of the Camden County Prosecutor's Office at (856) 297-0921 or Camden Police Detective Wayne Matthews at (856) 757-7446.
