Boggs’ death is the 17th killing in the city this year. There were 16 homicides reported in the city at this time last year, which included a police-involved shooting.
An investigation into the shooting is continuing, as is the probe into an early morning shooting that injured a 24-year-old Camden man and a shooting later in the day that injured a second man.
Authorities said in the first shooting on Friday a man walked into Cooper around 1:40 a.m. with a gunshot wound to his left leg.
The man told investigators he was driving in the area of Broadway and Berkley Street when he heard gunshots and realized he had been shot.
In the afternoon, a second man was dropped off at Cooper with a gunshot wound to his left leg.
Police later set up a crime scene where the man was believed to have been shot near 8th and State streets.
Anyone with information concerning Boggs’ shooting is asked to contact Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Investigator John Hunsinger at (856) 365-3239 or Camden City Police Detective Terrell Watkins at (856) 757-7420.
