Shimon Nesmith Jr. was found with several gunshot wounds as officers responded to a Shot Spotter activation with 11 rounds fired on the 1100 block of New Willow Street just after 3:30 p.m. on Monday, March 1, Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo J. Onofri said.
A vehicle was also found with multiple bullet holes and heavy damage after crashing into the side of 931 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., the Life in the Word Outreach Ministry, about a block away, authorities said.
