A dispute over a $100 debt ended in the death of 24-year-old Starquasia Harris in Trenton. On the evening of January 29, 2020, Harris was fatally shot during what authorities described as a targeted home invasion on Elm Street; police found her with a gunshot wound and she was pronounced dead at the scene. This was the city’s first homicide of the year.

Investigators identified two suspects: Travis Leiby, then 34, and Brittany Murdza, then 32. Court documents say the pair, who considered themselves siblings though not related by blood, went to Harris’s home to retrieve belongings for a relative involved in the $100 dispute the day before. Witnesses placed a man matching Leiby’s description entering the residence shortly before gunshots were heard; police say two people broke in, one armed with a gun. Leiby and Murdza were arrested and charged with murder, burglary, and firearm offenses and were awaiting court proceedings.
