Screengrab from a witness’s video of the chaos that erupted when shots were fired at Art All Night in Trenton.
TRENTON >> Authorities released body-camera footage and audio of 911 calls from the June 17 shootout at the Art All Night festival.
Officials said some of the footage was redacted to protect victims’ privacy.
At least three men were involved in the early-morning firefight that injured at least 22 people, including 17 who were hit by gunfire.
Amir Armstrong, 23, Davone “Dada” White, 26, and Tahaij Wells, were identified as the suspected gunmen in the mass shooting.
Wells was killed by police during the melee, and witnesses told The Trentonian that White also got shot from behind by the cops.
The shooting was fueled by feuding neighborhood factions, though officials haven’t identified who let off the first shot.
Investigators mapped out the shooting scene and are still sorting through ballistics to determine whether some bystanders were struck by cops’ fire as hundreds scrambled for the doors when gunfire erupted inside the Roebling Wire Works warehouse around 2:45 a.m. Father’s Day.
One of the videos shows several cops lifting up one of the suspected gunman wearing red shoes previously identified as Armstrong and carrying him to an awaiting police cruiser.
Cops were seen on the video walking inside the building after the shootout is over. A woman told one cop to back up pointing to shell casings on the ground as officers shined flashlights on the ground in parts of the building looking for more casings.
A man tells a gunshot victim on the ground to “just relax” as cops tended to him. The man worried about leaving behind his bike.
Witnesses reported before the shooting cops instructed festival-goers to get in the building or leave and packed people in “like sardines.”
The event was shut down early after scuffles ensued outside as one event organizer decried the “chaos” in video obtained by The Trentonian.
Trenton Detectives Eliezer Ramos, Matthew Bledsoe, Michael Cipriano and Officer Furman remain on administrative leave while the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office investigates their use of deadly force.
The last word from officials was that Armstrong and White remained hospitalized. Armstrong, who was shot in the head, was in critical but stable condition.
Prosecutors said no more information would be provided Wednesday but additional footage and details may be released at a later date.
