Chevin Burgess, a 22-year-old Black man, was found dead in a burned vehicle on the 100 block of Hart Avenue in Trenton, New Jersey, after firefighters responded to a car fire on January 4, 2014. The medical examiner determined Burgess had been shot in the head and killed before the car was set ablaze; the shooting was part of a robbery and the fire was an apparent attempt to destroy evidence.

Two Trenton men, Calier Samad and Joeryan Foreman, were arrested in connection with the case. Prosecutors say Burgess was shot during a robbery, his body placed in a vehicle, driven to Hart Avenue, drenched with gasoline, and burned. Samad was charged with murder, felony murder, robbery, and weapons offenses; Foreman faced felony murder, robbery, and weapons charges and was offered a plea requiring 25 years and cooperation with the prosecution. Samad was convicted of felony murder, robbery, aggravated arson, and a weapons offense and received a life sentence.

Did anyone in the community know Chevin or see activity around Hart Avenue on or around January 4, 2014?
