The Camden community is devastated by the death of 26-year-old former Camden High School athlete Premire Wilson, who was shot and killed on Chase Street on November 6, 2026.

Known for his warmth and determination, Wilson leaves behind a legacy of grit on the football field and kindness off it.

Early that Thursday morning, at around 6:41 a.m., Camden County Police responded to a ShotSpotter alert in the 1200 block of Chase Street.

Officers found Wilson unconscious on the porch of a home, suffering from gunshot wounds.

He was rushed to Cooper University Hospital but was pronounced dead at 7:25 a.m.

The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, led by Prosecutor Grace C. MacAulay, and Camden County Police Chief Gabriel Rodriguez confirmed the details.

Detectives are actively investigating the homicide. Anyone with information can contact Detective Joseph Fogg at (856) 225-5063 or Detective Matthew Blantz at (609) 923-6853. Tips can also be sent anonymously to CAMDEN.TIPS.

Wilson had been living in Los Angeles, California, in recent years.

He returned to his roots in Camden, where his story began as a standout high school quarterback.

At Camden High School, Wilson starred for the Patriots during his senior year. What made him special was that he had never played quarterback before stepping into the role.

He quickly became tough to defend. Wilson could win games with his strong arm or his quick legs.

His dual-threat style excited fans and showcased his natural athletic talent and unbreakable spirit.

Friends and former teammates remember him as more than an athlete. He was warm, determined, and always ready to lend a helping hand to others.

His journey from a novice QB to a local hero inspired many in the tight-knit Camden neighborhood.
