Danavan Phillips, 37, was shot and killed on Oakland Street in Trenton, New Jersey, on the evening of Monday, March 23, 2020. The city’s gunfire detection system alerted police; officers arrived about 6:30 p.m. and found Phillips gravely wounded. He was taken to a nearby hospital and died a short time later after being shot once under the chin.

Investigators said an argument escalated to deadly violence. The next morning, Mercer County Homicide Task Force detectives arrested a 14-year-old boy at a Hamilton Township home; the suspect’s name was not released because of his age. He was charged with murder and weapons offenses and held at a youth detention center. Phillips was a Trenton Central High School graduate who worked for Central Jersey Recycling and Forman Mills and was known as a skillful DJ.

Does anyone who knew Danavan or witnessed the shooting or the argument have information to share with investigators?
