Authorities have arrested two people and released chilling details of a deadly Trenton shooting from earlier this month.
Surveillance tapes show that a man later identified as Nasir White, 24, drove a gold Honda Accord onto Chase Street, then stopped in the middle of the road around 3:30 p.m. Dec. 8, Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo J. Onofri said.
The driver then got out, walked to the back seat driver side and shot 43-year-old Joel Alexander in the head, Onofri said. White then dragged Joel onto the pavement, got back in the car where Monet Maiden, 22, was waiting for him, and drove away, the prosecutor said.
