In Loving Memory of Raymond Delgado
Camden, NJ — A cloud of deep sorrow has settled over Camden as family, friends, and the broader community mourn the heartbreaking loss of 29-year-old Raymond Delgado, who tragically lost his life on Saturday, November 1, 2025. The suddenness and nature of his passing have left loved ones struggling to make sense of the pain, the silence that follows, and the space he leaves behind. His life, filled with energy, history, family ties, challenges, and love, was cut short far too soon.
Raymond was more than just a name in the news. He was a son, a brother, a friend, a neighbor — someone known for his presence, his laughter, and the bond he shared with those around him. People who knew Raymond describe him as someone with a warm heart, a familiar smile, and a spirit that had seen both joys and storms. He lived life in real time — navigating its ups and downs, but always tethered to the people he cared about.
The tragedy becomes even more difficult to bear as it unfolded within a family — a loss layered with unimaginable emotional weight. Authorities have announced that 28-year-old Anarkis Delgado, Raymond’s brother, has been arrested in connection with the shooting. This detail carries with it a heavy and painful complexity: grief mixed with love, confusion mixed with grief, and a family forced to face not only death, but devastation from within.
Investigators from the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit, led by Detective Luis Sibaja Jr., along with Detective Andrew Mogck of the Camden County Police Department, worked diligently to piece together what occurred on that tragic day. Their effort reflects the seriousness and care taken in response to a moment that shook a family and community alike.
Yet for those who loved Raymond, the investigation is only one part of the story. The deeper story is the human one — the memories that were built over years, the conversations, the celebrations, the quiet nights, the inside jokes, the shared meals, the hugs that will no longer happen. His absence will be felt at family gatherings, at holidays, in the everyday spaces where his presence once lived.
This loss also serves as a somber reminder of the silent battles many families carry — struggles with anger, conflict, stress, communication, emotional wounds, or pain that sometimes goes unseen or unspoken. It is a call for compassion, connection, and the courage to reach out before hurt becomes heartbreak.
As the community mourns, the hope is that Raymond will be remembered not for the way his life ended, but for the life he lived. For the moments that made others smile. For the times he showed love. For the pieces of himself he gave to the world.
May his soul find peace. May his family find healing. May his memory live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Rest in peace, Raymond Delgado. Forever loved. Forever missed.
