Police want the public's help to identify two armed men seen on a video surveillance recording at the scene of a homicide Tuesday night.

Gabriel Crespo, 27, was shot multiple times near the intersection of 25th Street and River Avenue in Camden about 10 p.m. He was transported to Cooper University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Wednesday afternoon, authorities released pictures and posted a video on YouTube that shows two men running to, and then away from, the scene before and after the victim was shot.

The men are seen running through an alley between Ricardo's Pizza and a Chinese restaurant. That alley sits between 25th and 26th Streets on River.

Police say they want to question both men about the slaying.

"It is urgent law enforcement identify these men. They should be considered armed and dangerous," Jason Laughlin, spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor's Office, said in a news release.

Anyone with information about the killing is asked to contact Camden County Police Detective Robert Chew at 856-757-7420. Information also may be e-mailed to ccpotips@ccprosecutor.org.
