CAMDEN, N.J. - Authorities are searching for a driver in connection with a deadly hit-and-run in Camden.
Police responded to the 2600 block of Mt. Ephraim Ave. shortly before 10 p.m. on Jan. 27 where they located a man suffering from injuries to the head.
The victim, identified as Lawrence Lloyd, 46, of Camden, was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead. A witness told officers the driver who hit Lloyd drove off after the incident.
Brooks shared his home with a longtime friend and caretaker, the neighbor added. That roommate was Marin, who had been struck by a car while riding a bike earlier in the day.
What happened next, according to a Camden County Police Department Chief Joseph Wysocki, was an outpouring of compassion and concern by Randall and other officers.
“They really prevented another tragedy from occurring,” the chief asserted.
After contacting the city’s fire department, Randall and Detective Megan Hill set up a ladder to reach Brooks’ apartment, according to a police account. Officer Justin Goldman and fire department personnel removed a window air conditioning unit to enter the home.
