Authorities identified the slain man gunned down Sunday morning as 45-year-old Ronald Parker.
Parker, of Trenton, was shot multiple times while behind the wheel of an Acura in South Trenton. He sustained at least one gunshot to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene around 4:05 a.m.
Sources said the Acura had Pennsylvania plates. Parker was shot on Asbury Street and drove a few hundred feet before he came to his final resting spot, crashing into a fence near the intersection of Asbury and Steamboat streets.
The Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office said no arrests have been made and the investigation continues.
Parker worked at UPS and attended Trenton Central High School, according to his Facebook page.
Shannon Jacqua Parker, Parker’s son, took to Facebook to write about his father’s death.
“My f---in’ dad got killed,” he said in the post. “Man I’m done.”
In an almost foreboding post made more than a month before his dad was gunned down, Shannon Parker lamented the gun violence that has overtaken the capital city.
“Man, n---as always shootin’,” he said. “Where the handa at now days? S--- is crazy.”
Shannon Parker did not immediately respond to a message left through the social network.
This is a developing story.
