Around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, police were dispatched to the 400 block of Ardmore Avenue to investigate reported gunfire and found a man suffering from at least one gunshot wound. The victim was taken to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. His name and age were not available at press time.
Police scanners reported that the man was driving a car and crashed it into a building. Investigators were on-scene looking for evidence inside the car, but it is unclear how much damage was caused to the building.
The man was the second person to be killed in the capital city within 24 hours. Around 10 p.m. Tuesday, former city boxer Steven Quinton Brannon, 46, was shot in the throat on East Hanover Street and later died at the hospital.
So far this year, five people have been murdered in Trenton.
