On the morning of September 1, 2018, officers found 34-year-old Eric Rue unresponsive in a vehicle at the intersection of Morris and Commonwealth avenues in Trenton, New Jersey. Rue, a Bensalem, Pennsylvania resident, had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the lower part of his body and was taken to St. Francis Hospital, where he died shortly after arrival.

The Mercer County Homicide Task Force identified a suspect and on September 6, 2018, arrested 29-year-old Mycol Beckett of Trenton during a motor vehicle stop. Beckett was charged with first-degree murder and several weapons offenses. Investigators say Beckett had been involved in an altercation earlier that morning at a local bar, was removed by security, then armed himself and encountered Rue, who was described as a regular at the bar. Beckett was held at the Mercer County Correction Center pending a detention hearing.

If anyone knew Eric Rue, his routines, or saw activity near Morris and Commonwealth avenues on the morning of September 1, 2018, please share what was seen.
