A Trenton man has been indicted in connection with the 2006 murder of 27-year-old Kevin Thomas.
According to prosecutors in the case, Thomas, of Hamilton, was shot and killed around 4 a.m. on September 3, 2006. He was a passenger in a car that was stopped at a red light at the corner of East State and Chambers streets when a dark-colored SUV pulled up beside him. Someone inside the SUV then fired several shots at the other vehicle, according to prosecutors.

Thomas suffered multiple gunshot wounds, prosecutors say, and the driver of the car he occupied drove directly to the hospital, where Thomas was later pronounced dead. Another passenger in that vehicle also suffered a gunshot wound, but survived.
Prosecutors say 32-year-old Ronald C. Smith was identified as the shooter, and that he was charged with the murder last year while serving time in jail for an unrelated offense.
Smith was indicted last week on charges of murder, aggravated assault and related weapons offenses in connection with Thomas' death. He remains in prison.
