A parking dispute in the Bronx turned deadly on February 8, 2025. Trevor Hughes, 49, was returning to his Fowler Avenue home near Morris Park Avenue when he found a vehicle blocking his driveway. Hughes, a father of four who worked as a locksmith, handyman, and performed as DJ Dread, reportedly called 311 and the local precinct before confronting the occupants of the car with his fiancée. An argument ensued and Hughes was shot in the abdomen; he was taken to Jacobi Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. His fiancée was allegedly assaulted during the same altercation.

Two people were arrested in connection with the incident: Lavar Davis, 46, was charged with second-degree murder for the shooting, and Fallon Wise, 41, was charged with assault and harassment related to the attack on Hughes’s fiancée. Davis was on lifetime parole after serving more than two decades in prison for a 1997 murder conviction. The community remembers Hughes as someone who brought people joy through his music and who leaves behind a family preparing for a funeral instead of a 50th birthday celebration.

Did anyone witness the confrontation on Fowler Avenue that night or have information about the events leading up to the shooting?
