The Mercer County Homicide Task Force and the Trenton Police Department are investigating a shooting that resulted in the death of a 19-year-old male Wednesday morning.
Trenton police responded to the 900 block of East State Street just after 12:30 a.m. after the Shot Spotter gunshot detection system activated for multiple gunshots.
Upon arrival, police located an Audi parked on the street with more than 20 bullet strikes. A 19-year-old black male was found inside the vehicle with a gunshot wound to the head. He was transported to the hospital where he is in critical condition.
Police said a second shooting victim - only described as a 16-year-old black male - was located at the hospital suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. He was treated and ultimately released, police added.
The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made.
Anyone with information is asked to call MCHTF Sgt. Gary Wasko or Detective Roberto Reyes at (609) 989-6406. Information can also be emailed to mchtftips@mercercounty.org.
