Leroy Davis was 31 when he was shot and killed in Trenton, New Jersey, in the early hours of Saturday, April 9, 2022. Just before 2 a.m., ShotSpotter sensors and 911 callers recorded roughly twenty gunshots in the block around Perry Street and North Montgomery Street. Officers found Davis on the sidewalk in front of 205 Perry Street with multiple gunshot wounds; EMS transported him to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead later that morning.

Reports from the time list Davis among the city’s first homicides of 2022, with some outlets identifying him as the eighth and others as the ninth victim, underscoring how rapidly the homicide count was rising. Online memorial pages refer to him by the nickname Yasin and include photos, candles, and comments noting he was a son and, in later accounts, a father. The Mercer County Homicide Task Force and Trenton Police Department handled the investigation and asked the public for information. As of the latest public updates, no arrest or charge has been recorded and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Leroy, witnessed the shootings near Perry and North Montgomery on April 9, 2022, or has information that could help, please come forward.
