Roosevelt Trey Breaux III, a 21-year-old Black man, was killed by gun violence in Rome, Georgia, on August 1, 1999. Memorials and victim listings place him in the Rome community with ties to Main Elementary and West Rome High School and remember him as funny, caring, and full of life.

Publicly accessible records about the death are sparse. The consistent facts are the date, place, and that his death resulted from gun violence; available online material does not provide a clear, traceable record naming a suspect, filing charges, or documenting a conviction. The personal remembrances preserve his place in the family story even as detailed reporting about the crime itself has thinned.

If anyone knew Trey, his life in Rome, or has information about the shooting, please come forward with what can help fill the gaps.
