CAMDEN, N.J. -- Police continued their hunt on Monday for a masked man armed with a gun and machete who shot five young people in a parked car late Saturday night, killing two and seriously injuring three.
The killer drove the car a short distance with four of the victims inside, before abandoning it on a dirt road on the city's south side, police said.
The carnage was remarkable even for Camden, long one of the poorest and most violent cities in the country. The victims, all under age 21, were not involved in illegal activity, Camden Police Chief Scott Thomson said on Monday.
"This was not an act of gang violence. It was not a drug deal gone bad," Thomson said outside Camden City Hall. "It was a complete act of senselessness."
Thomson said investigators were still probing for the the motive of the slaying............
Those killed were identified as Jewel Manire, 18, and Khalil Gibson, 20. Two women, aged 20 and 16, remain in critical condition in a local hospital after being shot in the face and head. Another 16-year-old girl was shot in the arm and shoulder..............
The shooter was described as six foot tall Hispanic man, wearing yellow latex gloves and a black mask around the lower part of his face. He carried a gun and a machete, according to police.
Thomson said that detectives were pursuing several leads in their search for the shooter. "We're going to find him," he said.
