Search for missing Trenton, NJ man ends with new homicide investigation
🔴 Missing Trenton man found dead two weeks later.
🔴 His body was discovered in a home near where he was last seen.
🔴 It's the second confirmed homicide in Trenton this year.
TRENTON — A local man's body has been found two weeks after he was last seen, and officials say his death was no accident.
Anthony D. White, 35, of Trenton, was last seen around 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18, near the 100 block of Culyer Ave., police said. Prosecutors said he lived at a home along the same street. The next day, White's family reported him missing.
On April 1, police found White's body inside a home at 409 Walnut Ave., just around the block from where he was last seen. The street is littered with abandoned homes, though it's unclear if the property where he was found was abandoned.
Medical examiner rules death a homicide
The Middlesex County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled that the death was a homicide. No arrests have been made. The Mercer County Homicide Task Force is investigating.
The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office was unable to provide more details about how White was killed because the investigation was ongoing, said Brian Shevlin, deputy first assistant prosecutor.
