Breon Hakeem Blackshear, 24, was shot and killed on December 4, 2006, in an alley off New Rose Street near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Trenton. The killing followed a heated argument that escalated into gunfire. His death was recorded as the city’s 17th homicide that year.

Reports note Blackshear was a known gang member. An investigation was opened but, over the years, no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified; the case has gone cold. The unresolved nature of the killing has left family and the community without answers.
