CAMDEN, N.J. (WPVI) -- Two men were found shot and killed in a Camden house more than a year ago and now a reward is being offered to find their killer.



Around 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday December 31, 2013, police were called to a home on the 700 block of Division Street for reports of a shooting.



"When they arrived at the house they observed Jorge Chavis laying on the ground, on the floor," said Sgt. Terry King, Camden County Prosecutor's Office.



The 31-year-old had been shot but Chavis wasn't the only victim.



"The Camden County Metro Police Department conducted a search of the residence when they revealed James Anderson laying upstairs in the bedroom, as well, shot," said Sgt. King.



Both Chavis and 23-year-old Anderson were pronounced dead.



"We believe that there are individuals who are aware and may know what happened and what took place. Someone saw something," said Sgt. King.



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



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