Sunday police activity on a normally quiet Middletown street was related to a homicide investigation out of New Jersey.
Neighbors and police on Sunday confirmed that officers swarmed a house on Canal Road in Levittown as part of an ongoing investigation that involves multiple jurisdictions and an FBI task force. Three law enforcement sources LevittownNow.com spoke to on Monday confirmed the investigation was related to last Friday morning’s homicide of 20-year-old Keyauna Hughey, who was gunned down in a second-floor Trenton bedroom while she was with her boyfriend.
