In the early morning hours of Monday, May 18, 2026, the sound of gunfire shattered the pre-dawn quiet in a Jersey City neighborhood. Inside a residence located at 109-111 Old Bergen Road, a violent encounter left two men with fatal injuries. Responding to reports of shots fired shortly after 1 a.m., Jersey City police officers arrived to a grim scene. They discovered two unresponsive male victims, 52-year-old Kenneth Darby and 53-year-old Luis Quintero, both residents of Jersey City.
Both men were suffering from apparent gunshot wounds and were immediately transported to the Jersey City Medical Center for emergency treatment. Despite the efforts of medical personnel, both Darby and Quintero were pronounced dead, turning the initial police response into a double homicide investigation.
The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office Homicide Unit, in conjunction with the Jersey City Police Department, quickly took the lead in the active and ongoing investigation. In the days following the shooting, authorities worked to piece together the events that led to the two men's deaths. The investigation soon focused on a single suspect, and by May 22, 2026, the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office announced they had identified the individual they believed to be responsible for the killings. An arrest warrant was issued for 18-year-old Treshawn Daniels, also a resident of Jersey City, in connection with the double murder. Authorities released his name and photograph to the public, seeking assistance in locating him.
Authorities have charged Treshawn Daniels with a slate of serious offenses, including two counts of murder, attempted murder, unlawful possession of a weapon, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. Despite the charges, Daniels remains at large, and law enforcement has cautioned the public that he should be considered dangerous and should not be approached. The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office has actively solicited the public's help, urging anyone with information regarding Daniels's whereabouts to come forward and contact their office or submit an anonymous tip. The case stands as a tragic double homicide where the victims, Kenneth Darby and Luis Quintero, were fatally shot inside a residence. While a suspect has been identified and formally charged, no arrests have been made, and the pursuit of justice for the two slain men continues as authorities actively search for the fugitive wanted in connection with their deaths.
