Tayvion Jones was 18 when he was shot and killed in his own home in Trenton on May 18, 2020. Police responded to a ShotSpotter alert around 12:30 a.m. and found him in the kitchen with a single gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead a short time later.

Investigators identified a suspect quickly: 34-year-old Horace Jones of Ewing, described as Tayvion’s cousin. Authorities say Horace was taken into custody near the scene and charged with murder and weapons offenses. Reported information points to a family dispute over women as the apparent motive, and officials say the shooter fired from outside the home.

Was anyone in the neighborhood that night aware of escalating tensions between the cousins or of anyone coming to the house just after midnight?
