Camden County Police responded to a call of a man found unconscious in a city alleyway Saturday morning, but found something far worse: the body of Oreste Borrero, a 34-year-old homeless man who had been shot multiple times.

Police say they first arrived at the scene just before 10 a.m. Saturday. Borrero was pronounced dead 20 minutes later, according to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office.

No suspects have been identified in the shooting of Borrero, who was found just off the 3100 block of Westfield Avenue in Camden.

County police and prosecutors are actively investigating the case.
