TRENTON -- A Trenton man was charged with drug possession and weapons offenses in connection with the shooting on Winder Avenue last week that injured three people, police said.

Tirkirah Clark, 18, was found in a gold minivan with the alleged shooter, Bayshawn Jennings, when police apprehended Jennings Saturday June 25, police spokesman Lt. Rolando Ramos said.

Officers confiscated the minivan during the arrest.

After receiving a search warrant two days later, police found 198 decks of heroin and three handguns inside -- a .32-caliber, .40-caliber and a .45-caliber.

Then, after police found the guns and drugs, warrants were issued for Clark's arrest and officers found him on Jersey Street Thursday at 2 p.m., Ramos said.

Clark is not charged with shooting any of the victims. 

The shooting occurred on Friday June 24 at about 9 p.m. on the 100 block of Winder Avenue, near Walnut Avenue.

A 19-year-old woman was shot in the eye, a 38-year-old woman was shot in the neck and a 20-year-old man had a wrist injury. Police said a bullet had just grazed his arm.

Clark is charged with possessing the handguns, drug possession and intent to distribute drugs within 1,000 feet of a school and 500 feet of a park.

Jennings will have the same charges added to the six counts of attempted homicide and weapon offenses he already faces.
