Trenton Reginald Grooms Sr., 27, of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, died from a gunshot wound sustained during an incident on May 24, 2016, in the Searights area of Menallen Township. Police say Grooms was shot after breaking a bedroom window and entering a woman’s residence; he was struck once in the right leg above the knee. Despite the wound, Grooms drove away but was found dead inside his vehicle after it crashed about a half-mile from the apartment.
Authorities identified Vincent Jones, 24, of Charleston, West Virginia, and Christian Carpenter, 23, of Highland Park, Michigan, as suspects. Jones fired four rounds from a revolver, according to reports, and both men left the scene in a rented 2015 grey Kia Optima with an Arizona plate. Both were charged with criminal homicide and conspiracy; Jones later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Grooms is remembered by his children, siblings, and community.
Did anyone in the Searights area see the grey 2015 Kia Optima or notice activity near that apartment on May 24, 2016?
