Seventeen-year-old Opium Dante Leverette, known as Tae Breezo, was shot and killed on September 22, 2024, in Trenton, New Jersey. Police responded about 12:32 p.m. to a ShotSpotter activation near Parkside and Homan avenues and found Leverette with a gunshot wound to his back. He was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center and died a short time later.

Leverette was remembered as charismatic, with early involvement in Trenton Pop Warner and the West End Baseball League. A minor heart condition kept him from playing football in high school, but he hoped one day to play in the NFL to support his family. Later interests included rapping, fashion, and the arts; friends and family described him as a leader who made a strong impression on people who met him.

Nineteen-year-old Keisan Simmons of Trenton was arrested in Morrisville, Pennsylvania, by the U.S. Marshals New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force and faces charges including first-degree murder and weapons offenses. If anyone knew Opium Dante Leverette or has information about what happened that afternoon, please come forward.
