The juvenile defendants were both 16 at the time of their arrests last October. Motions to waive them up to adult criminal court are pending, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office.</p> <p>A grand jury last Friday handed up the 14-count indictment that named Williams, McInnis and Kpehe as defendants, according to court records. McInnis and Togbah are convicted felons who have each previously pleaded guilty to drug distribution charges. As such, last week’s indictment also charged McInnis and Togbah with one count of certain persons not to possess a firearm.</p> <p>The fatal North 25 shooting incident occurred about 3:10 p.m. on Oct. 6, 2017, at the intersection of Carver Lane and North Willow Street in Trenton. Both gunshot victims were transported to the hospital by private means. Rutledge, a local grandmother, was pronounced dead at the hospital while the teenager sustained non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said.</p> <a href="http://wordpress.homicidewatch.org/trenton/files/2017/10/Wilma-Rutledge.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6037" src="http://wordpress.homicidewatch.org/trenton/files/2017/10/Wilma-Rutledge-237x300.jpg" alt="Wilma Rutledge (Facebook Photo)" width="237" height="300" srcset="http://wordpress.homicidewatch.org/trenton/files/2017/10/Wilma-Rutledge-237x300.jpg 237w, http://wordpress.homicidewatch.org/trenton/files/2017/10/Wilma-Rutledge.jpg 357w" sizes="(max-width: 237px) 100vw, 237px" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Wilma Rutledge (Facebook Photo)</p> <p>Police arrested Williams and both juvenile defendants on or about Oct. 20, 2017.
