NaGus Lamar Griggs, 18, of York, Pennsylvania, was shot the evening of September 8, 2014, while seated in the front passenger seat of a vehicle at the intersection of Princess and Charles Streets. Police were called about 7:02 p.m.; Griggs suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was taken to York Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10:33 p.m. He was known locally as Gus, a talented basketball player who starred at William Penn Senior High and helped New Hope Academy win a District 3-A Championship the season before his death.

Early investigations produced shifting leads. Authorities initially charged Niam Shabazz Jamison, who turned himself in, but the homicide charge was later withdrawn after detectives identified inconsistencies in witness statements. By September 24, 2014, warrants named Troyvon D. Breeland and Daequahn Tyree Ammir Jones; Breeland was arrested that day and Jones was sought as armed and dangerous. At trial, witnesses and forensic evidence placed Jones on the Pine Street sidewalk firing at the car; ballistics and glass fragment trajectories were presented to dispute a defense claim that shots came from inside Griggs’s vehicle. Daequahn Jones was convicted of third-degree murder and sentenced to 18 to 40 years in prison.

Did anyone in York at the time see the red four-door car or those involved near Princess and Pine on the night of September 8, 2014?
