Trenton, NJ man dead after broad daylight fatal shooting
TRENTON — A man is dead after a weekend shooting in the capital city, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office.
Daquan Brown, 33, of Trenton, was found by police on Kersey Alley shortly after 3 p.m. Sunday, authorities said.
Trenton police arrived at the scene after the city's Shot Spotter system picked up the sound of several gunshots.
Brown had taken a bullet to his shoulder and was lying on the ground, according to prosecutors. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead soon after.
Trenton went over 90 days over the summer without a fatal shooting until a killing in early September. Rasheed Barlow was the thirteenth homicide victim in the city this year.

No arrests have been made in Brown's killing. The investigation is still ongoing.
