Berwick Street


BERWICK STREET is in East Camden. Prior to 1954, when the McGuire Gardens public housing project was built, the street began at Rand Street, with a block of homes in the 2000 block between Boyd and Morse Streets, and another block of homes in the 2100 Block between Morse Street and Marlton Pike, where it terminates. When McGuire was built, Berwick was extended all the way to South 20th Street.

Do you have an Berwick Street memory or picture. Let me know by e-mail so it can be included here.

November 23, 2004

Camden County Prosecutor Vincent P. Sarubbi and Camden Police Chief Edwin J. Figueroa reported today that Edwin Cortes, M/45, died on Nov. 22, 2004, at Cooper University Hospital from injuries he sustained in an alleged assault on Nov. 7 in Camden, N.J.

Investigation indicates that at approximately 6:35 p.m. on Nov. 7, family members of Cortes called police and emergency medical service personnel to his home in the 2000 block of Berwick Street in Camden. He stated to police that he had been beaten by his nephew, Eric Plaza, M/21, of the 2000 block of Westminster Avenue in Camden. Cortes complained of pain in his side. Emergency medical personnel transported Cortes to Cooper University Hospital to be evaluated.

Cortes' condition rapidly deteriorated and he underwent emergency surgery for internal injuries. His condition deteriorated further and he fell into a coma and was placed on life support. He remained in a coma until yesterday when his family decided to remove him from life support. Cortes was pronounced dead at 2:45 p.m. yesterday.

Plaza was arrested yesterday and charged with Murder for allegedly causing his uncle's death by beating the victim with his fists. Plaza remains in the Camden County Correctional Facility in lieu of $300,000 bail set by Superior Court Judge David G. Eynon.

RAHWAY GETS MAN FOR THEFT OF $20
Defendant at Pennsauken Found Guilty by Jury in 3-Year-Old Robbery

James Brody, 22, of 4341 Forty­third Street, Pennsauken Township, yesterday was sentenced to serve an indefinite term in Rahway Reformatory today in Criminal Court. 

A jury found him guilty of participation in a $20 robbery three years ago. The jury deliberated for one hour and a half. The state charged that Brody, in company with Harry Schultz, 2162 Berwick Street, and William Dempsey, 2271 Mickle Street, went to the candy store of Mrs. Celia Schulman, 2902 High Street, threatened her with a pistol and took the money on Oct. 23, 1930.

Schultz and Dempsey were subsequently arrested, tried and sentenced to two years each. Brody was in dicted and declared a fugitive.

In court yesterday Brody denied that he had made an attempt to evade arrest and said he had been working as a hand on a dredge in the Delaware River. He said if there was a holdup he knew nothing about it for on the day in question he was 
intoxicated and merely took a ride with the two convicted bandits. 

"I was so drunk I don't remember anything," he declared. "If there was a holdup, I had nothing to do with it;" 

A fatal automobile accident resulted in Brody's arrest on the holdup charge. On the 28th of last month William Urban, 60, 109 Allen's Court, a passenger in Brody's car, was killed when the machine collided with a bus. During the subsequent investigation of the crash, Detective William Lehman remembered that a fugitive warrant had never been served on Brody and placed him under arrest.

MEDIA INFORMATION

June 10, 2006

Acting Camden County Prosecutor James P. Lynch and Camden Police Executive Robert L. Stewart reported today that a 27-year-old Camden man was shot to death last night outside a corner store in Camden, N.J.

He made a purchase, left the store and walked a short distance south on Berwick Street. The victim was standing on the sidewalk beside the store when a lone shooter approached on foot from the direction of Marlton Pike, shot Camacho from close range, and fled on foot back toward Marlton Pike.

Images of the shooter were captured on surveillance video as he approached the victim and as he fled. Authorities are urging citizens who believe that may recognize the suspect to contact investigators. Calls should be directed to Senior Investigator Ron Moten of the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office at (856) 225-8400 or Camden Police Detective Orlando Perez at (856) 757-7400.
