The Mercer County Prosecutor's Homicide Task Force is investigating, but have announced no suspects or arrests.

On Sunday, Trenton's Shot Spotter gunshot detection system alerted police to multiple rounds fired in the 100 block of Pennington Avenue around 6:30 p.m.

Prosecutors say Antione Brown, 46, of Trenton, fatally shot his ex-girlfriend. Her 19-year-old son was also shot in the hand but is expected to recover.
