On a late Saturday night in May 2020, 38-year-old Robert Smith of Trenton, New Jersey, was killed in a mass shooting outside a Daymond Street residence. About thirty to forty people had gathered when, around 11:40 p.m., one or more individuals began firing into the crowd. Smith was struck in the head and later died at a nearby hospital.

Two other people were wounded: a 19-year-old man shot in the buttocks and a 44-year-old man hit in the back; both were hospitalized. Investigators recovered more than a dozen shell casings and found two vehicles damaged by gunfire, underscoring how indiscriminate the attack was. The Trenton Police Department and the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office opened a homicide investigation, but the shooter or shooters fled and have not been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

If anyone was at that gathering or has information about who approached the crowd that night, please come forward with what you know.
