Mercer Man Charged With Murder In Shooting Death

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.

The arrest stems from a shooting Patch previously reported on Aug. 2, when Trenton police responded to the 300 block of East State Street at approximately 3:37 a.m. for a report of a large disturbance and shots fired. Officers found a man in front of 319 East State Street with a gunshot wound to the neck.

The man, identified as Jemear Miller, 32, of Ewing, was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, according to the prosecutor's office. A second man arrived at the hospital via personal vehicle with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
