On the evening of March 29, 2021, 20-year-old Trenten Jacob Sink was shot and killed in Buffalo’s Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood after being lured to C Street for a supposed meeting. Sink, a Barker High School graduate who played football and organized the NY Lightning touch football league, was ambushed during what investigators describe as a planned robbery.

Police say two people were involved: 20-year-old Calvin D. Clemons and a 16-year-old accomplice. Clemons allegedly shot Sink multiple times; the younger assailant then took Sink’s backpack and both fled. Emergency crews took Sink to Erie County Medical Center, where he died of gunshot wounds to his back, side, chest, and buttock. The Buffalo Police Homicide Squad investigated and arrested the two suspects.

Anyone who knew Trenten, saw him that night, or has information about the robbery is asked to come forward.
