TRENTON – Authorities have identified the man killed in a shooting outside a Hamilton Avenue liquor store last night.
Robert Wright, 32, was shot in the abdomen outside of Bilancio’s Wine & Liquor around 5:45 p.m. He was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 7:01 p.m., officials said.
Wright’s last known address is in Bridgeton, Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office spokeswoman Casey DeBlasio said.
A 30-year-old Ewing man was also injured in the shooting, but his name is being withheld, DeBlasio said. He was shot in the leg and is being treated for injuries that are not life-threatening, Trenton police Lt. Steve Varn said last night.
One man who witnessed the shooting, 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 said 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 arrests have been made yet by the Mercer County Homicide Task Force, which is investigating.
Anyone with information is asked to call the task force at 609.989.6406 or the Trenton police confidential tip line at 609.989.3663
