Death in Ewing Township under investigation

The Mercer County Homicide Task Force and the Ewing Police Department are investigating the death of a Pennsylvania woman that occurred on Glen Stewart Drive in Ewing Township on Monday.

At about 6:30 p.m. on Monday, police were alerted that there was a dead female in a home on Glen Stewart Drive. When they arrived they located the victim, Ashley Davis, 32, of Levittown, Pennsylvania, in the basement. There were visible wounds to her body and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

During the execution of a search warrant at the home, two long BB guns and a short BB gun were located in the same room as the victim’s body. Numerous used bags of what was thought to be heroin with various stamps on them were also discovered during the search. The victim’s boyfriend, Aaron Adams, 38, who lives at the Glen Stewart home has been charged with a “certain persons not to possess a weapon” offense. He is in the custody of the Mercer County Department of Corrections.

The cause and manner of death of Davis’ death are pending an autopsy. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information should contact the Mercer County Homicide Task Force at (609) 989-6406 or mchtftips@mercercounty.org.
