MERCER COUNTY, NJ — A Trenton man has been arrested and charged with murder in connection with a fatal shooting earlier this month in Trenton, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office.
Isiah Greene, 32, of Trenton, is charged with murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon and certain persons not to possess a weapon, the prosecutor's office said. He was arrested Aug. 20 following a motor vehicle stop in Bordentown by the New Jersey State Police. The prosecutor's office has filed a motion to detain Greene pending trial.
