On the night of May 2, 2018, around 11:35 p.m., 28-year-old Aveon Perry was chased and shot on the 800 block of Greenwood Avenue in Trenton, New Jersey. Perry, a Black male, ran toward a Shell gas station as an armed assailant pursued him. He was struck by multiple bullets, collapsed inside the gas station, and was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

A person described as the gunman reportedly stood over Perry and continued firing until the weapon was empty before fleeing the scene. The Mercer County Homicide Task Force investigated the killing, but no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. The motive remains unclear.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information that could help bring Aveon Perry’s family answers, please share what you know.
