Camden man charged with murder in brother’s shooting death
Prosecutors Anarkis Delgado, 28, turned himself in as they continue to investigate the crime.
A 28-year-old Camden man was charged with first-degree murder on Monday in the shooting death of his brother in on Saturday.
Anarkis Delgado was also charged with several weapons crimes in connection with the shooting, which left Raymond Delgado, 29, dead.
Police responded to a report of gunfire on the 500 block of Pearl Street in North Camden around 11 a.m. to find Raymond Delgado lying on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds, prosecutors said.
He was shot in the chest and leg, according to court documents, and taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival.
Prosecutors said investigators soon determined that his brother was the shooter. A witness told police that the brothers were arguing just before the shooting and that Anarkis Delgado pulled a gun from his waistband and fired, court documents say.
Surveillance video investigators recovered from Pearl Street showed Anarkis Delgado approaching his brother, who fell to the ground. Delgado then fled toward Elm Street and into a housing complex.
Additional footage captured before the shooting shows Anarkis Delgado cursing at his brother and telling him “I’ll be over here,” according to the documents.
Delgado was escorted by his family to the police station, where he turned himself in to authorities. He was taken into custody at the Camden County Correctional Facility.
