Michael Anderson, a 52-year-old Black man from Trenton, was shot on a porch on Wayne Avenue near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the early morning hours of June 7, 2017. He survived the initial attack but battled severe injuries for several months and died from those injuries on Monday, January 15, 2018. An autopsy examined whether the gunshot wounds from the 2017 incident were the cause of his death, and his passing was included in the city’s 2018 homicide statistics.

Friends and family remembered Anderson on social media as a beloved figure, calling him a legend and the black superman. The Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office investigated to determine cause and manner of death, but news reports and official statements available at this time do not detail any arrests or identify suspects. Who knew Michael Anderson or has information about the June 2017 shooting?
