TRENTON — One man died after he and another man were shot in front of a liquor store on Hamilton Avenue last night, officials said.
The deceased victim, a 32-year-old man, was shot in the chest and taken in critical condition to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, Lt. Steve Varn of the Trenton Police Department said. The victim was pronounced dead at 7:01 p.m., Varn said.
The other man, 30, is being treated for a gunshot wound to the leg, but his injuries are not life-threatening, Varn said.
About 5:45 p.m. police responded to the shooting on the 200 block of Hamilton Avenue, Varn said.
Police were investigating the sidewalk in front of Bilancio’s Wine & Liquor and inside the liquor store. A vehicle parked in front of the building appeared to have a window shot out.
One witness, who did not want to be named for fear of retaliation, said he saw three men, one in a wheelchair, in front of the liquor store.
He then saw another man come up Hamilton Avenue from the direction of South Clinton Avenue and fire about four shots at the men in front of the liquor store from about 10 to 15 feet away.
No information has been provided about the suspect so far.
Anyone with information may reach the homicide task force at (609) 989-6406, or call the Trenton police Confidential Tip Line at 989-3663.
