The detention hearing for Isaiah
Roberts, the Trenton man accused of killing 9-year-old Sequoya Bacon-Jones, has
been adjourned to next Tuesday at the request of the defense attorney.
Nineteen-year-old
Isiah Roberts is
charged with the little girl's murder. He's accused of firing
several shots back on March 25 in the courtyard of the Kingsbury Square
apartment complex.
Bacon-Jones
was playing outside with her brother and tried to run but was struck by a stray
bullet. She was rushed to the hospital, but died several hours later. Police
say gunfire started because of a feud between two women on social media. Authorities
have confirmed Roberts is the brother of one of those women.
"It
was a dispute over how one of the women was raising her children they were
called out on Facebook,” says Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo Onofrio, “They
called each other out to fight on the plaza area."
The
Tuesday following the shooting, police pulled Roberts over while driving
his car in Trenton. News 12 is told he ran from police through a wooded area
and across a local highway before he was found in the Delaware
River.
