CAMDEN, N.J. (WPVI) -- A father from Camden is still reeling from the death of his son in February and a reward is being offered to help find the killer.

"Royon was a very, very good kid you know he was loving to his family," said Roy Price.

Price still gets choked up when talking about his 20-year-old son Royon.

"I lost my son and it hurts very much. We think about him every day, every day," said Price.

Price had just spoken to Royon around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday February 4th.

"I got a call maybe 20-30 minutes later from my daughter saying somebody shot him up," said Price.

Price says his son was seen arguing with a man in a mask in an alley behind homes in the 200 block of Eutaw Avenue in Camden.

Police say the shooting started there and then proceeded into one of the homes.

Royon was shot multiple times and he died at the hospital.

A 30-year-old woman was also shot, but she survived.

Police say the female victim has not been able to provide them with any leads.

The Citizens Crime Commission is administering a $1,000 reward for the arrest and information of the person responsible.

All you have to do is call 215-546-TIPS (8477). All calls will remain anonymous.

"You killed my son, not only did you kill my son, you killed me, you killed his brothers, you killed his sisters, you killed his mother. We loved him very much. He took a regular person off this earth," said Price.
