One killed, two injured in two shootings after hundreds of fights outside Trenton bar, police say – NBC10 Philadelphia

Two shootings that followed fights between hundreds of people in Trenton, New Jersey, left one person dead and two others injured Sunday morning, police said.

Police say the shooting happened shortly after police responded to the Regal 1 bar along N. Clinton Avenue in Trenton around 2:10 a.m., where, authorities said, “about 200 people were observed fighting in the street.

Minutes later, officials said, responding officers heard — and ShotSpotter systems activated — several gunshots coming from the area near the bar along the 500 block of N. Clinton Avenue.

While responding to those gunshots, officials said, officers encountered three gunshot victims in two separate scenes.

A man, identified by police as Dwayne Penix, 20, of Trenton, was taken to a nearby hospital where his case was reported shortly after arrival, officials said.

The other two victims, both men, were also transported to nearby hospitals where authorities said their condition was stable.

Police officials said an investigation is underway into the incidents and investigators are asking anyone who may have information about these shootings to contact Detective Ramon Santiago of the County Homicide Task Force Mercer at (609) 508-6623 or Sgt. Roberto Reyes at (609) 256-0997.
