Trent Jackson, 32, was killed by a gunshot wound to the head on April 29, 2024, after a day of escalating violence in the Bronx. Earlier that evening, around 5:45 p.m., brawls between two groups occurred near Dewey and Swinton Avenues by Jackson’s home in the Throggs Neck Houses. The groups dispersed but returned about an hour later, and a shootout broke out at about 6:50 p.m. outside the NYCHA building at 2791 Dewey Avenue.

Officers from the 45th Precinct and PSA #8 responded to a 911 call and found Jackson with a severe head wound; he was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi and pronounced dead. Police recovered fifteen shell casings of various calibers and surveillance captured a white SUV and a dark-colored Jeep fleeing. The white SUV was later found in the Locust Point neighborhood, with blood-stained clothing nearby. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains ongoing.
