TRENTON, N.J. – A 32-year-old Trenton man has been charged with murder in connection with an early-morning shooting on East State Street that killed an Ewing man and wounded a second person, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office.
Isiah Greene was arrested Thursday following a motor vehicle stop in Bordentown by the New Jersey State Police, prosecutors announced Friday. The prosecutor’s office has filed a motion seeking to keep Greene detained while the case is pending.
The charges stem from an Aug. 2 shooting in the 300 block of East State Street that killed 32-year-old Jemear Miller of Ewing. Investigators said another man suffered a gunshot wound that was not considered life-threatening.
- Greene faces murder and three weapons charges in connection with the shooting.
- Miller was found with a gunshot wound to the neck outside 319 East State Street.
- The Mercer County Homicide Task Force investigation remains active, and detectives are seeking additional information.
Shooting Followed Large Disturbance on East State Street
Trenton police were dispatched to the 300 block of East State Street at approximately 3:37 a.m. Aug. 2 for reports of a large disturbance and shots fired, according to the prosecutor’s office.
