Two teens arrested for N.J. ATM murder

September 2, 2004

Trenton Times: In a robbery scheme loosely devised just two hours before, five teenagers allegedly murdered Ronald McNeill as he left a Fleet Bank ATM in Trenton, N.J., after making a $100 withdrawal. Two teens have been arrested and charged with felony murder, Police Director Joseph Santiago said on Sept. 2. Detectives are searching for three other suspects who allegedly helped plan the botched robbery. Tyree Elliot-Davis, 18, was the alleged shooter who fired a bullet into McNeill's neck after the Ewing man withdrew money from the ATM. "Mr. McNeill was a random target . . . wrong place, wrong time, a person essentially minding his own business," Santiago said. Police believe McNeill was shot because he struggled during the holdup.
