Two of the officers involved in the shooting are no longer on administrative leave.
CAMDEN -- There were two cars parked at the River Road residence of Oscar Camacho Sr.
Both vehicles had decals across the rear windows remembering a brother and twin who died on July 3, 2015 -- the day 33-year-old Oscar Camacho Jr. was shot to death by police in Cramer Hill.
"In loving memory," the stickers read.
The Camden County Prosecutor's Office (CCPO) announced Tuesday that the police-involved shooting of Camacho -- who told a 911 dispatcher that was "done with life" and pointed a realistic-looking Co2 gun at officers -- was justified.
"The Camden County Police Department (CCPD) will conduct an administrative investigation to ensure the actions taken by both officers were consistent with our organizational policies and procedures," county spokesman Dan Keashen said Wednesday.
He added that such reviews "will always take place once a criminal investigation has been closed."
The CCPO released the findings on Tuesday as part of a state Attorney General's directive regarding fatal police-involved shootings.
Multiple attempts to reach Camacho family members at a Camden residence Wednesday were unsuccessful. According to philly.com, Camacho Sr. blasted Tuesday's news, calling it "bull" and questioning the number of times his son was shot.
On the night of the deadly encounter, Camacho called 911 and told the dispatcher he had "crashed a lot of cars," had a gun and wanted to kill himself.
According to previous reports, Camacho was having trouble with a former girlfriend. Police arriving at the scene learned that the man was armed. He also had a prior drug distribution conviction and was not allowed to be in possession of a firearm.
Camacho walked toward the officers who responded to the scene while carrying a black gun with a brown handle and long barrel that was pointed to the ground. It was revealed one week after the deadly encounter that the man had been carrying a .22 Co2 revolver and not an actual firearm.
The officers involved in the shooting were later identified as Sgt. Keith Henderson and Officer James DiMarco, who had been on the force for about one month.
"Both individuals employment status has never changed since the date of the incident and they are no longer on administrative leave," Keashen said Wednesday, adding that he couldn't comment on their respective assignments.
Henderson fired 16 shots at Camacho after he failed to obey orders to drop it, raising the weapon instead. Camacho was hit "multiple times," authorities said.
Asked about the number of rounds fired at the man, the CCPO referred to the state Attorney General investigation guidelines.
"Deadly force shall not be used against persons whose conduct is injurious only to themselves," per the "Use of Force" policy.
The directive goes on to say that a police officer may use deadly forced "when the officer reasonably believes such action is immediately necessary to protect the officer or another person from imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm."
Late last year, state Attorney General's Criminal Division Director Elie Honig called police-involved shootings an "officer's worst nightmare." At the Morris County meeting in October 2015, Honig said police may use deadly force in self-defense, in an "imminent threat of death" or in investigations of homicide and rape.
