TRENTON -- The man shot dead in North Trenton Friday night was a 21-year-old Somerset County resident.
Jerome J. Thomas, 21, was from the Somerset neighborhood of Franklin Township.
He was shot multiple times while sitting in his vehicle on the 600 block of Southard Street at about 7:50 p.m., the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office said Saturday. He died a short time later at a city hospital.
Thomas was a registered sex offender. He's listed on the New Jersey sex offender registry as a Tier 2 offender with 2013 conviction for sexual assault.
The registry says his victims were girls, ages, 13, 15 and 17.
The prosecutor's office did not report any arrests or charges filed in Thomas' killing, not any other details of the crime. The prosecutor's Homicide Task Force is investigating.
The killing is the second this week in Trenton.
On Monday night, Jermaine Austin, 37, was shot multiple times in the 1100 block of East State Street, near North Olden Avenue. He also died a short time later at a city hospital.
