Detention hearing rescheduled in shooting death of Trenton nine-year-old
TRENTON, N.J. - A detention hearing has been scheduled for Thursday morning in the shooting death of a nine-year-old girl in Trenton.
The hearing, now scheduled for April 12, will determine whether or not Isiah Roberts, 19, will be held without bail after he was charged with murder and related charges in the death of SeQuoya Bacon-Jones. The hearing was originally scheduled for Thursday, April 7.
Authorities say Bacon-Jones and her brother were playing in the courtyard in Kingsbury Square on March 25 when two women began fighting nearby over a social media post.
As the fight began, police say Roberts became involved in an altercation with another man nearby. The situation escalated and multiple shots were fired.
