Two children were struck by stray bullets and killed inside their home Tuesday night in Trenton, New Jersey.
The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. on Mulberry Street.
Police say the brothers, 16-year-old Gustavo Perez and 8-year-old Johnny Perez, were on the second floor when the shooting began.
Trenton’s mayor and police director called for unity and for more police action.
“The short end is that we just don’t know what happened. Police are piecing that together, but we really need to gather as a community,” Mayor Reed Gusciora said.
“I am demanding my officers to stop riding past crime,” Trenton Police Director Sheilah Coley said.
Coley says the city scaled back arrests during the height of the pandemic, but that is no longer the standard.
No one has been arrested for the murder of the two brothers.
What? What does that have to do with a shooting into a house? Or am I missing something?
I think they were Brown lives but I am not a racial bean counter so I can’t say for sure.
Sheltering in place. Died due to Covid19.
Years ago, early 90’s I think, many Blacks at work wore T shirts that read “It’s a Black Thing You wouldn’t understand “ and over the years I’ve come to believe their right.
“”To be actively investigating multiple cases, tracking down witnesses and leads, reviewing hours and hours of surveillance footage, obtaining and executing search warrants, all the while responding to new crime scenes as they develop, and be able to make several arrests in multiple cases is an example of unrelenting fortitude and dedication to public safety. I could not be more proud and I can only hope that the community continues to recognize their effort, and remain vigilant and involved.””
Think that will make sense to those who want to DEFUND THE POLICE? Or those politicians who support the idea?
Not the first time we’ve read about crimes committed in NJ by riffraff from PA. Can’t they commit crimes in their own state? Or do they just like to get out of town occasionally?
#StayFetal is likely the policy in more places than Chicago.
LE is standing down.
Impossible! NJ has tough gun laws! (Snark)
Their magazine was only 10 rounds and they did not use hollow points.
Abolishing the police and emptying the prisons is the obvious solution to this problem.
Oh, and take guns away from law-abiding citizens.
I almost forgot that one.
Trenton would be perfect if not for those thugs from across the river.
“Stray bullets”. N O T!
Sheltering in place. Died due to OviductD!. Now Cancel schools and Church.
As usual, Trump’s fault.
Dajuan and Destinie. I don’t have to look.
Apparently, young black lives do not matter.
This happened in Richmond VA while my daughter was an ER nurse. Some kids got shot by stray bullets fired by some punks arguing. She cared for the 8 year old girl, who survived. Her brother died.
Gather and do what? Form a posse and go after the killers?
Exactly what proof does this putz have that this is happening? Demonize the cops if they do their job, blame the cops when despicable people commit crimes that cause innocent deaths. How about the moron demand the criminals stop being criminals.............oh yeah, never happen and not as good as a sound bite putting the blame on the cops. I am amazed that cops haven’t already started taking retirement or medical disability in Trenton with a police director like Sheila having their backs.
