Trenton Man Now Charged Faces Homicide Charge for Gentleman’s Club Shooting that Killed 28 Year Old Man in Morrisville

Published

on

The Trenton New Jersey man originally charged for attempted homicide  for  shooting a man in the head  at gentleman’s club in Morrisville last summer is now charged with homicide as the victim died.

The Bucks County District Attorney’s office made the announcement Wednesday that Pedro E. Rodriguez, 28, of Trenton, N.J., was charged Tuesday with criminal homicide. He was originally charged with attempted homicide for the alleged shooting at the Border Gentlemen’s Club on August 29.  Rodriguez is currently being held at Bucks County Correctional Facility  (BCCF) on 10 percent of $5 million. The upgrading to a homicide charge erases any possibility for the Trenton man to post bail as  individuals charged with homicide are not eligible for bail in Bucks County.

Mekhi Norman, the victim, was shot in the back of the head, left thigh, and the torso around 1:10 am on the morning of August 29 at the club located on 440 S. Pennsylvania Avenue. Norman was taken to a Trenton hospital in critical condition and succumbed to his injuries on Sept. 6. The Middlesex County Medical Examiner’s Office conducted an autopsy and determined his cause of death to be complications from multiple gunshot injuries. His manner of death was ruled a homicide, Bucks County authorities said Wednesday.

Norman was an innocent bystander who attempted to assist the staff when he was shot. He did not know Rodriguez. Investigators an altercation occurred at the doorway of the establishment setting of Rodriguez leading him to reach for his gun and firing off shots.  At the time of the incident, 17 patrons/employees were inside of the establishment.

Rodriguez was scheduled for hearing last month at district court, however, it was cancelled at the last minute and until the announcement yesterday it was unclear what the procedural hold up was.

Bucks County authorities also announced that the man who fled with Rodriguez,  Kevin Perez, 21, also of Trenton,  was also charged and recently appeared in court for a preliminary hearing last month with of all his charges —five counts each of simple assault, disorderly conduct, and harassment held over for trial. .

Investigators said Perez assaulted the staff at the club just before the shooting erupted. His next court date is scheduled for later this month. He is also being held at BCCF unable to post the 10 percent of  $100,000.00

Rodriguez is scheduled to be arraigned on the new homicide charge Friday in Morrisville District Court by Judge Corryn L. Kronnagel.

Published

on

A 23 year-old Trenton, New Jersey man is behind bars at Bucks County Jail charged for brutally beating his ex-girlfriend in front of a Morrisville Borough Pizzeria that was captured on video by two witnesses in April of last year, police say.

Police were dispatched on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at approximately 7:34 p.m., for a assault report at Nick’s Pizza, on E. Trenton Avenue. The 911 caller said a young female ran into the restaurant bleeding from the face and asked for help.

Police arrived on scene and went inside Nick’s Pizza to speak with the victim.

Officers observed the victim having a large bleeding gash on her left eyebrow. She also had blood all over her face, her chest and her left eye was swollen shut and bruised badly, according to court papers. The victim told police that she was in a great deal of pain and was terrified that the man who assaulted her would come back for her She identified her ex-boyfriend, Kashonn McGill as the perpetrator.

Police then spoke with witnesses still on scene who also captured on video part of McGill allegedly beating the victim on their cell phone video applications.

According to witness #1, she reported that a black male pulled the victim out of a red vehicle and began punching and kicking her.

According to witness #2, the video clearly shows a red Hyundai Sonata stopped in the traffic way of the parking lot in front of Nick’s Pizza with an unknown type white sedan positioned directly in front of the Sonata, nose to nose. A tall black male with medium length dreadlocks, wearing a light blue long sleeve top and grey shorts is seen punching and kicking the victim female on the ground in the face, head and back. The female is wearing a maroon top and matching leggings.

Witness #3’s video clip shows a woman with long, black hair, wearing a cropped jean jacket, black t-shirt and grey short shorts is seen trying to help the other female and fight off the male. The female being assaulted is screaming for help. The male then grabs the female in maroon by the hair, pulls her up off the ground, then bear hugs her from behind and drags her over to the white vehicle. He opens the driver’s side door and attempts to shove the victim into the vehicle. The victim continues to scream loudly while W#3 attempts to pull her away from the male. The victim falls to the ground and the video stops.

Morrisville Borough Police were able to identify the victim as the female in the maroon outfit. And identified McGill through state records.

A short time later police arrived on scene at Capital Health Regional Hospital and spoke with the victim’s mother. She told police McGill had been allegedly stalking her daughter and she was able to obtain a Protection From Abuse order against him, but he continues to terrorize the victim.

Morrisville Police discovered Trenton Police had not served the PFA yet, court records show.

The victim’s mother identified McGill’s vehicle for police.

The officer then spoke to W#3, the other person involved in the incident. She said she and the victim were hanging out and had to drop something off at the victim’s house for her mother. They spotted McGill following them in his car (in New Jersey) and began driving around, trying to lose him. They decided to cross the Calhoun Street Bridge into Pennsylvania, and turned into Morrisville Shopping Center, stopping in front of Nick’s Pizza.

W#3 said that McGill began “tapping” her car with his as they were driving. There was no damage to the vehicle and she said she was not injured. Then, McGill, according to a witness got out of his vehicle, pulled the victim out of her vehicle (the red Sonata), and began to beat her.

The witness told police she was fearful of the victim’s life and that McGill allegedly said he was going to kill her.

According to the medics that transported the victim to the hospital, one medic believed she suffered an orbital fracture and possibly a jaw fracture. The medic told police that the victim said during transport to the hospital that McGill allegedly stole her purse and cell phone from her.

The victim’s mother called 911 to speak to the officer investigating the assault. She told police that her daughter’s (witness number 3) friend told her McGill allegedly said he was going to be waiting for her at her house when they got home. Police asked if the friend had the victim’s phone and she said she did, however, she said McGill still had the victim’s purse and refused to give it back money he believed was owed to him by the victim.

The victim denied owing McGill money, saying he is lying just to have an excuse to stalk her. Before police left, the officer tried again to see if the victim was feeling up to speaking with her, but she said she was in too much pain at that time, according to court records.

Police issued an arrest warrant for McGill last April.

He was arrested on Feb. 24, 2026 and arraigned by District Judge Corryn L. Kronnagel. She set bail at 10 percent of $500,000. He is charged with one felony count of aggravated assault, misdemeanor counts of simple assault, disorderly conduct, theft by deception, and related offenses.

Unable to post bail, McGill was remanded to County Jail where he currently remains pending his next court appearance scheduled for March 10. He has no attorney of record according to online court records.
