Mercer Man Charged With Murder In 2014 Shooting Death: Prosecutor

MERCER COUNTY, NJ — A Trenton man has been charged for the 2014 death of Jamer Greenfield, Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo J. Onofri said Wednesday.

Jonathan Woody, 40, 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.

He was arrested in Trenton Monday evening by members of the Mercer County Sheriff’s Fugitive Unit, Onofri said.

The charges were brought after an investigation by the Mercer County Homicide Task Force.

On July 19, 2014, around 5 a.m., Trenton police officers were in the area of the 100 block of Rosemont Avenue when they heard gunshots near Rosemont and Hoffman avenues.

Officers found a large group of people running from the 200 block of Rosemont Avenue and on arrival, found Greenfield, 23, on the ground suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the chest.

He was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

“Eight years, and they never stopped,” Onofri said, applauding the tenacity of his detectives. “Detectives continued searching for witnesses, asking questions, putting fresh eyes on the case, until the pieces fit and they had the necessary evidence to charge.”

The prosecutor’s office has filed a motion to detain Woody pending trial.
