Robert Powell Jr., 56, was killed on the morning of May 10, 2017, in Trenton, New Jersey, while walking home from a local store. Powell, a Black man described as a devoted family man with six children and a grandchild on the way and married to his wife Antoinette for thirty years, was caught in the middle of an exchange of gunfire and was struck by a bullet to the back that proved fatal; he was also wounded in the ankle and hip. The shooting began when U.S.

Marshals attempted to serve a warrant at the residence of 35-year-old Tyleeb Reese, who opened fire from a second-story window. The encounter escalated into a 35-hour standoff before Reese surrendered with the reported help of friends and family. Reese was charged with murder, five counts of attempted murder, and multiple weapons offenses; three Mercer County Sheriff’s Officers were injured and later released from the hospital.

Did anyone in the Trenton area see Powell that morning or have information about the events leading up to the shooting?
