Treaujalaune Roce Lornes was 14 and a freshman at George Washington High School when he was shot and killed in Denver on September 18, 2019. Known to family as Trey, he loved basketball and hoped to play professionally to help his family. The shooting followed a dispute that began at a car wash reportedly over a pair of sneakers and then moved to a house in the 1700 block of South Monaco Parkway near Cook Park. Trey was shot on the stairs of that residence and later died at a nearby hospital.

Denver police identified another juvenile male, a friend of Trey’s, as the primary suspect; that juvenile was taken into custody on the morning of September 20, 2019. Because he is a minor his name was not released. He was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, second-degree assault, three counts of felony menacing, attempting to influence a public official, and juvenile in possession of a handgun, and the matter was referred to the Denver District Attorney’s Office.

A candlelight vigil was held to remember Trey and his family sought help with funeral expenses while calling for justice. If anyone witnessed the dispute at the car wash or the events at the home on September 18, does anyone have information to share?
