On the late evening of May 25, 2019, 25-year-old Dominic J. Frederick of Franklin Township was shot while driving near the Franklin Greens Apartments on Petty Road in Somerset, New Jersey. After being gravely wounded, he continued to drive and crashed into a residence on Foxwood Drive. Responding officers found him unconscious behind the wheel; he was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy ruled the death a homicide by shooting.

There were other passengers in the vehicle who were not injured. The Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and Franklin Township Police investigated the case; in June 2020 two 19-year-old men, Trey Hyman and Gavin Owens-Jones, were charged with first-degree murder and weapons offenses. Hyman surrendered and was arrested, and Owens-Jones was served while already in custody on unrelated charges. The shooting is believed to have been related to an ongoing feud between rival groups of young men.

Did anyone in the area see the vehicle before or after the shooting, or have information about the feud that might help explain what happened?
