A late-night dispute outside a Trenton bar ended with gunfire that killed 47-year-old Kristoffer J. Givens on December 8, 2024. The shooting began around 1 a.m. outside Al Lee’s Bar and Lounge on Dickinson Street; multiple shots were fired during an argument. Officers later found Givens on Olden Avenue suffering from a gunshot wound. He lived in Ewing and was taken by police to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where he died a short time later.

Givens was born in Trenton, graduated from Trenton Central High School, worked as a truck driver, and rode with the Cycle Kings. A 40-year-old man from Willingboro was also wounded and was taken to a hospital in a private vehicle. The Mercer County Homicide Task Force and Trenton Police are investigating and no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact investigators.
