Taquan Tay McNeil was 25 when he was shot and killed on a Trenton street in the early morning hours of February 15, 2015. Police were called about 2:20 a.m. to Boudinot Street and found McNeil on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Mercer County Homicide Task Force led the investigation and identified 26-year-old Naquan M. Green as a suspect.

Authorities allege Green tried to discard a handgun by throwing it from a fifth-floor window while officers moved to apprehend him, earning additional weapons charges. Green was charged with murder and several weapons offenses; in September 2017 he was sentenced to five years in state prison, with a requirement to serve 85 percent of the term before parole eligibility. The sentence drew concern in the local community.

Did anyone in Trenton at the time have information about McNeil’s movements that night or about what led to the shooting?
