Man Charged in Trenton July 4 Shooting

Rashawn Ford, a 37-year-old man from Morrisville, Pennsylvania, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the July 4 shooting death of 32-year-old Amir Williams in Trenton, New Jersey. The incident occurred on Stuyvesant Avenue, where Williams was found with multiple gunshot wounds and later died at the hospital. Ford faces several charges, including attempted murder and multiple weapons offenses, and is expected to be detained pending trial. Additionally, a second victim, a woman, was hospitalized with a gunshot wound to her hip. Meanwhile, a separate shooting incident at a Morrisville gentlemen’s club has prompted authorities to seek an arrest warrant for Pedro E. Rodriguez, who is charged with attempted homicide after a bystander was critically injured. Investigations into both cases are ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
