TRENTON -- The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office has identified the two men killed at a gas station in an overnight shooting on Sunday.

Prosecutors say the two homicide victims are 21-year-old Kordrese Robinson and 16-year-old Jahday Twisdale -- both of Trenton.

A third individual who was wounded during the shooting has been identified as a 19-year-old Trenton resident.

Prosecutors described his wounds as non-fatal.

A witness who works at a different gas station across the street said he heard three or four gunshots early this morning.

"I don't know what happened," Francis Kollison said. "I was inside -- all I heard was boom! boom! boom!"
