Suspect on Dirt Bike Flees After Two Shot in Trenton
A shooting has taken place in the Trenton Housing Authority’s Donnelly Homes area, with two individuals reported shot in the aftermath. As the investigation continues, it has emerged that the Mercer County Homocide Taskforce and Trenton Police are looking into the events that led to the incident. Following the shooting, emergency services personnel, including Trenton EMS and Capital Health Paramedics were called to the scene. They transported the injured parties to Capital Health Regional Medical Center’s Trauma Center, where they are currently receiving treatment.
In the aftermath of the shooting, it was reported that the suspect fled the area on a dirt bike. This prompted Trenton Police officers to pursue the suspect as they sped towards Broad Street. The chase continued until the suspect eventually dumped the bike in the vicinity of Haggerty Alley at the 400 Block of Genesee Street. Following abandonment of the dirt bike, the chase continued on foot until Trenton Police successfully apprehended the suspect in the South Broad Street area.
The exact circumstances and events that led to the shootings remain unclear at present. An investigation is currently underway, led by the Mercer County Homocide Taskforce and Trenton Police. The incident report issued by MidJersey.News is an evolving story, and official channels are yet to release a statement. It is expected that as more information emerges, a fuller picture of the events leading up to the shooting will become clearer. Updates will be communicated once official reports have been released.
MidJersey.News reached out to the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office, and upon receipt of official information, we shall update and correct any inaccuracies in this report. Until then, members of the public are encouraged to provide any relevant information to the investigating authorities to assist in the ongoing matter. It is hoped that, with such cooperation, the suspect will be held accountable for the actions that led to the two victims being injured, and justice will be served.
