Michael S. DeGrasse Jr., known as DOC to friends and family, was 25 when he was found with a gunshot wound to the abdomen on the side of the Championship Bar on Chambers Street in Trenton. The discovery came about 1 a.m. on December 11, 2021. He was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Raised in Trenton and educated in the Trenton Public School System, DeGrasse had earned a GED and several trade certifications. He was a father and is remembered by family as humorous, loyal and devoted. The investigation led to an arrest announced in March 2022: authorities charged 33-year-old Yancy Young of Trenton with murder and multiple weapons offenses and sought to keep him detained pending trial.

If anyone who knew Michael or was in the Chambers Street area that night can contribute information, please share what you know.
