Brent F. Berkeley was a 41-year-old man from Plymouth, Massachusetts, described by family and friends as a hardworking father, son, and fiancée. He worked as a foreman for Harmon and Sons Landscaping and shared two children, Liam and Harper, with his fiancée Jessie Jenks.

On the evening of October 25, 2024, a confrontation in the Middle Street town parking lot following a minor traffic incident turned deadly. Prosecutors say Berkeley exited his Jeep and struck 23-year-old David Jerome, who remained inside a Toyota RAV4 with his 18-month-old son in the back. Jerome allegedly fired multiple shots through his open window, hitting Berkeley in the chest and abdomen; witnesses say Jerome then exited his vehicle, fired additional shots while Berkeley was on the ground, and later attempted CPR. Berkeley was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth and pronounced dead.

Police arrested Jerome at the scene after witness identification. He was arraigned in Plymouth District Court, pleaded not guilty, and was ordered held without bail. The community organized fundraisers to support Berkeley’s children.

Does anyone have information about the parking lot confrontation or remember seeing either vehicle that evening?
