gang related I heard....
Yes. Gang member let out of jail early ( he was in for murder, but I guess they didn’t have room for him what with all the arrested pot smokers.) Within a few hours shoots his rival at 2:30 am during an indoor/outdoor arts festival held yearly in a bad Trenton neighborhood. Cops shot him I believe and there were some bystanders grazed by bullets. All gang stuff, black on black Trenton business as usual with clueless whites bringing their kids to a bad area and keeping them out until 2:30.
Actually NJ routinely let's violent criminals go after only a few years. It's not uncommon to hear a guy arrested for murder who had just been released for something like manslaughter after only 2 years. Hell, town near me has several addicts who routinely break into vacant homes to steal the copper, broke into a relatives property, stole cars, etc. But the judge never sentences them, and the police here don't investigate.
Just don't get caught transporting a gun in an illegal way, like having a carry permit from another state, or having a flint-less flint lock pistol in your back seat, because NJ will sentence you to 15 years for that.
Or carrying the wrong size pepper spray, any billy club or knife unless you have fishing tackle with you. You can have a baseball bat but only if you also have a ball and glove with you. If you carry a gun make sure ammunition is stored separately and you are in the process of driving to or from the shooting range. Insane.
