Concerned about murders, investigators target drug gang and make 18 arrests, solve 3 killings
Updated Jan 14, 2021;
A six-month narcotics investigation on both sides of the Delaware River in the Trenton area led to 18 arrests, the seizure of dozens of pounds of drugs, 11 guns, six cars, wads of cash - and key intelligence that led investigators to solve two murders, police said.
The investigation, targeting Trenton’s “H Block” gang, also discovered that a Bucks County, Pennsylvania man was supplying North Trenton with heroin, authorities said. Investigators watched several drug deals, and arrested two men at a West Windsor hotel last week with a box full of heroin, which they’d apparently stashed in the woods nearby, Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo Onofri said in a Thursday statement.

A Hamilton man has been charged with killing a Trenton man he knew and then using a key taken from his body to enter an apartment and steal a shoebox of his cash, prosecutors alleged Monday.
Quintin Thompson, 25, is charged with murder, felony murder, robbery, weapons offenses and theft in the death of Omar Billups, 37, who police found shot dead in a South Trenton apartment on Nov. 29 this year.
Thompson’s girlfriend, Emoni Henderson, 22, is charged with firearms possession and theft charges in the case, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office announced.

At the intersection of Franklin and South Trenton avenues in Regent Square, an unassuming blue marker commemorates the spot where President George Washington once camped.
Good Question! asker Taylor Stessney noticed the sign, which dates the campsite to November 24, 1758.
“I was just curious, considering how it looks now with all these buildings and everything, what did this area look like at that time?”
That marker commemorates Forbes Road, a historic military route across Pennsylvania built during the French and Indian War. And Pittsburgh was at the heart of the conflict.
“It was just an unbelievable series of events.”
