Meanwhile, this year's homicides have reached 11
TRENTON -- Trenton police are continuing to investigate a pair of shootings Sunday that sent two people to the hospital.
A 24-year-old man was walking on the 200 block of Academy Street at about 2:41 a.m. when he heard shots and was hit in the arm, police Lt. Rolando Ramos said Tuesday.
Hours later, a 25-year-old man was sitting on his porch with his back turned on the 200 block of Spring Street when shots rang out around 9:49 p.m., Ramos said. The man was struck in the leg and had a graze wound to the head.
Both men were taken to the hospital but have since been released, Ramos said.
The department's Shooting Response Team is investigating. No motives or suspects have been identified in either shooting.
Meanwhile, homicides have reached 11 in Trenton this year.

On Saturday afternoon, 15-year-old Maurice Wimbush-Jalaah was fatally shot outside the Prospect Village housing project during what his family believes was a disagreement while visiting friends.
Responding officers arrested two 18-year-olds who had fled the scene with guns, but charges have not been filed yet in connection with the homicide.
Early Tuesday, Carlos Leiva-Oviedo, 27, was stabbed and found bleeding near his car on Hudson Street, authorities said. He was taken to the hospital, but died hours later.
Both homicides remain under investigation by the Mercer County Homicide Task Force.
