GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (February 2, 2025) (CNBNews)—In a startling revelation, we have obtained footage from a resident’s ring camera that vividly captures the chaos of gunfire echoing in the stillness of the night, 23 days ago. Two shadowy figures can be seen discharging weapons in the 600 block of Ridgeway Street shortly before midnight on Sunday, January 12, 2025. The piercing sound of seven gunshots rings out, shattering the tranquility of the neighborhood.

Our investigation into this alarming incident uncovered that Jason Fanning, the chairman of the Gloucester City Republican Committee, initially shared this video on social media, only to have it swiftly removed. In a subsequent post, Fanning revealed that he had complied with requests from Police Chief/Acting City Administrator Brian Morrell and Police Captain Jason Flood to take down the footage, as their investigation was ongoing.

Generally, law enforcement agencies prioritize releasing information about criminal activity, aiming to engage the public in their efforts to uncover vital details that could aid in their inquiries. The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office also dives into random shootings as standard protocol. However, the decision to withhold information about this specific incident leaves many questions unanswered, shrouding the community in uncertainty.

To obtain copies of the local investigation into this incident, we submitted an OPRA request to Gloucester City Municipal Clerk Vanessa Little, who also serves as the City's Custodian of Records. We also contacted the Camden County Prosecutors Office, requesting copies of their research into this shooting.
