On Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023, 23-year-old Jhosse Tolentino was fatally shot while sitting in the driver’s seat of his parked 2010 Infiniti G37 near Lamberton and Federal streets in Trenton, New Jersey. Tolentino, a Black male and a resident of Lamberton Street, was ambushed when a stolen black 2007 Toyota 4Runner approached just before 7 p.m.; surveillance footage shows four armed men exit the SUV, walk up to Tolentino’s car and fire multiple shots into the driver’s seat. Responding officers found Tolentino critically wounded after a ShotSpotter notification; he was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead.

The shooting is described as the latest episode in a long-running feud between members of the H-block gang and people associated with South Trenton and Lamberton Street, a dispute that reportedly escalated on Instagram in the days before the attack. Detectives later located the stolen 4Runner abandoned at a vacant property on Edgewood Avenue. Four men — Joseph Fayson, 22; Justin Malkin, 23; Darin Eutsey, 23; and Bayshawn Brown, 22 — were identified and arrested and charged with first-degree murder and related weapons and theft offenses.

Did anyone in Trenton see the Toyota 4Runner or the four men in the area that evening?
