Two New Jersey teenagers, aged 13 and 14, have been charged with first-degree murder for allegedly shooting a taxi driver in the head while attempting to rob him.
Prosecutors said Kofi Addo, 57, was shot dead near Rutgers University last week by a group of three teens who allegedly called the taxi to a location on Rose Street to rob the driver.

Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office said that the teens attempted to steal from Addo before one of them shot him in the head while he was driving.
The taxi crashed into another vehicle parked in the driveway of a residence on Sydney Place, and the teenagers bailed out of the car and fled from the scene on foot.
Addo, from North Brunswick, New Jersey, was pronounced dead after being rushed to a nearby area Trauma Center.
A police statement read: ‘On Friday, May 12, 2023, all three male juveniles were located by authorities assigned to the investigation.
‘Two juveniles were in Franklin Township, and the third was in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The juveniles were transported to the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office, where they were subsequently charged.’
Two of the suspects, aged 14 and 13, were charged with first-degree murder, felony murder, conspiracy to commit murder, robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, unlawful possession of a weapon, and possession of a firearm by a minor.
The third alleged accomplice, aged 13, was charged with robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.
