TRENTON, N.J. — A 24-year-old man is dead and three others were injured following a drive-by shooting Thursday night on the 100 block of Passaic Street, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office.

Authorities said the shooting occurred around 8:52 p.m., when a vehicle pulled up to a group of people standing outside, opened fire, then fled the scene. Four individuals were struck by gunfire — three adult males and a 16-year-old female.
