Shortly after 1 a.m. on Monday, May 18, 2026, gunfire was reported at a residence at 109-111 Old Bergen Road in Jersey City. Responding officers found two unresponsive men, 52-year-old Kenneth Darby and 53-year-old Luis Quintero, both suffering apparent gunshot wounds. Each was taken to Jersey City Medical Center, where both were pronounced dead. The scene was treated as a double homicide.

The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit and the Jersey City Police Department led the investigation. By May 22, 2026 investigators identified a suspect and an arrest warrant was issued for 18-year-old Treshawn Daniels of Jersey City. Daniels has been charged with two counts of murder, attempted murder, unlawful possession of a weapon, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, but remained at large; authorities warned he should be considered dangerous and asked the public for tips.

Anyone who knew Kenneth Darby or has information about this case is asked to contact the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office or submit an anonymous tip.
