Chevaughn Donald Fagan was 28 when he was shot and killed on the evening of May 1, 2024, in a church parking lot at 812 Prospect Street next to New Life Christian Center in Trenton. He grew up in Clarendon, Jamaica, and moved to Trenton in 2007 to live with his grandmother. Family remembered him as gentle, protective, and quietly charismatic. As an adult he used the name PassRich, made music with friends, worked as an IT specialist, and was studying computer science at Mercer County Community College while raising his daughter Ariane and son Chozen.

Around 7:45 p.m. a ShotSpotter alert registered multiple rounds near Prospect and Pennington. Officers found Chevaughn in the side lot with multiple gunshot wounds and a blue Infiniti QX60 crashed nearby with 43-year-old Jerome Francis shot in the driver’s seat. Both men were taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead. Investigators recovered three handguns, two cell phones, and numerous shell casings at the scene, and the Mercer County Homicide Task Force and Trenton Police canvassed the area and reviewed ShotSpotter data. Prosecutor Angelo Onofri’s office confirmed both deaths and said no arrests had been made.

If anyone in the neighborhood that night saw activity around the church lot or the Infiniti, please share what was observed with investigators.
