On the night of May 11, 2016, Ricardo Montalvan Jr., 23, was found suffering at least one gunshot wound inside a silver Toyota Camry parked on Whittaker Avenue in Trenton. He was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead at 10:15 p.m.

Investigators identified two juvenile suspects. A 16-year-old, Divon Ray, was detained at the scene; about a week later authorities arrested 17-year-old Zakeem Brown at his mother’s home with the assistance of the U.S. Marshals NY/NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force. Prosecutors said the shooting grew out of a robbery, with one teen allegedly telling police it was something to do.

Both teenagers were charged with murder, felony murder, robbery and weapons offenses and were waived to be tried as adults. In April 2017 a Mercer County grand jury returned a five-count indictment against Divon Ray (then 17) and Zakeem Brown (then 18) in connection with Montalvan’s death.

Did anyone in Trenton know Ricardo or see activity around Whittaker Avenue that night?
