On the evening of June 5, 1995, 21-year-old Adrian Davis of Trenton, New Jersey, was fatally shot during a street encounter with two armed men, Jermaine Vaughn and Jeremiah Bass. The men had been driving around Trenton and drinking when they decided they needed money to get into parties. Armed with a revolver, Vaughn and Bass encountered Davis; a brief struggle followed and Vaughn’s firearm discharged, fatally wounding Davis. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

An eyewitness woman who saw the confrontation from her home later gave information to police that helped lead to the capture of both men. After his arrest, Jermaine Vaughn was charged with first-degree felony murder, robbery, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose; he was convicted in 1999 and sentenced to life with thirty years of parole ineligibility, and his conviction was upheld on appeal.
