On the morning of July 19, 2014, 23-year-old Jamer Jay Greenfield was shot and killed on the 200 block of Rosemont Avenue in Trenton, New Jersey. Police responded about 5 a.m. after gunshots were heard and found a chaotic scene with a large group of people fleeing. Greenfield, a Black man, lifelong Trenton resident, and father of three, suffered multiple gunshot wounds including one to the chest and died after being taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center.

The investigation stalled for years while detectives continued to seek witnesses and evidence. Greenfield’s mother, Talaya Greenfield, pursued court action to obtain documents related to the case; that lawsuit was later dismissed. Investigators reportedly had a suspect for a long time but lacked sufficient evidence to charge anyone.

In July 2022 authorities arrested 40-year-old Jonathan Woody of Trenton and charged him with murder, unlawful weapons possession, and other offenses. Witness reports and later testimony described scattered playing cards at the scene and suggested a botched robbery over a chain; a witness who came forward in 2016 said Woody attempted to rob Greenfield, struggled with him, and shot him in the chest. Does anyone have information about Greenfield, where he spent time that morning, or the events on Rosemont Avenue?
