Authorities release name of 19-year-old shot dead outside New Brunswick home

NEW BRUNSWICK – Police are investigating the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old city man last night.

Eduardo Mendez was shot and killed on Talmadge Street around 8 p.m. Saturday, acting Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey said in a news release this afternoon.

Mendez was pronounced dead at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital less than an hour later, Carey's office said. Police found his body outside of a home on the 200 block of Talmadge.

Investigators could be seen combing through the grass of a lawn Saturday night, and were taking photographs of a bike that lay on its side next to the sidewalk. A next door neighbor said that the area, between Remsen Avenue and Livingston Avenue, is typically a quiet one.
