Naquan Ellis, 23, was shot and killed in Trenton, New Jersey, on June 24, 2014. Police responded to reports of a shooting around 10:45 p.m. near Fairway Drive and found Ellis in a parking lot with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead a short time later. A woman at the scene suffered gunshot wounds to her leg and hand and was hospitalized for treatment.

The Mercer County Homicide Task Force led the investigation and identified 22-year-old Grady A. Blue III of Trenton as a suspect. An arrest warrant was issued and Blue was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals NY/NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force; he was already incarcerated at the Garden State Youth Correctional Facility on unrelated charges when arrested. Bail for the murder charge was set at $1 million. A Mercer County grand jury indicted Blue in February 2015 on murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons charges, and he later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated manslaughter for recklessly firing into the crowd and to an unrelated gun charge. Blue admitted to the shooting but did not give a motive or name a target.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information about who was at the Fairway Drive parking lot that night?
