Trejan Wadell Crosby, a 24-year-old African American man, was fatally shot in West Palm Beach, Florida, on March 25, 2024. The shooting took place in the early hours after a series of confrontations that began when Crosby had been drinking with a group and became argumentative and aggressive. One altercation outside a Walgreens on Broadway turned physical when Crosby and 49-year-old Paul Blackshear fought; Crosby reportedly knocked out some of Blackshear’s teeth and split his lip.

After that fight, Crosby went with two others to a nearby gas station. As he tried to cross Broadway, surveillance footage from the gas station captured the sound of gunshots and showed Blackshear running away from the scene moments later. An earlier video and Uber records placed Blackshear in a rideshare that night. Blackshear was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon; he admitted to fighting with Crosby but denied shooting. He was held without bail after a court hearing on April 10, and investigators continue to gather evidence.

If anyone witnessed the events near the Walgreens or the gas station that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
