On the night of October 2, 2020, 35-year-old Hussain H. Abdullah was shot on the 200 block of Spring Street in Trenton. ShotSpotter picked up five gunshots just after 11 p.m.; officers found Abdullah with multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the chest. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival, the city’s 29th homicide that year.

The Mercer County Homicide Task Force opened an investigation. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified. Abdullah had recently been released from South Woods State Prison in late January 2020 and had prior convictions for drug distribution, unlawful possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, and assaulting a corrections officer. In the days after his killing another shooting occurred on the same block, though any connection was unclear.

Did anyone in Trenton’s Spring Street area see or hear anything that night that could help investigators?
