On July 5, 2021, 16-year-old Dion Ellis was shot and killed at the intersection of Prospect Street and Stuyvesant Avenue in Trenton, New Jersey. He suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene. A second 16-year-old male was wounded in the leg but survived.

Ellis was known locally as a lifeguard at the Roberto Clemente Pool and a junior varsity basketball player who wanted to become a designer. The Trenton Police Department and the Mercer County Homicide Task Force pursued the case; surveillance footage identified a suspect vehicle and investigators later focused on 30-year-old Keith N. Jordan of Trenton. A search of a 2016 Toyota Camry allegedly linked to Jordan turned up a 9mm handgun with a 33-round extended magazine, hollow-point bullets, and an extra empty 10-round magazine.

A Mercer County grand jury returned a nine-count indictment charging Jordan with first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, and multiple weapons offenses, including possession of a defaced firearm. He was being held in the Mercer County Correction Center awaiting trial. Does anyone have information about Dion, his activities that morning, or the vehicle seen on surveillance?
