In the early morning hours of June 9, 2019, a tragedy unfolded in Trenton, New Jersey, that would forever alter the lives of a local family. Arkeyia Beal, a 36-year-old female, was discovered inside a vehicle that had been riddled with bullets. The fatal shooting occurred in the vicinity of Southard and Calhoun Streets, where police found her around 4:40 a.m.

prom. In the face of unimaginable grief, her son made the courageous decision to attend the event in his mother's honor. Friends and family rallied around him, offering support as he prepared for what should have been a celebratory milestone, now overshadowed by immense loss.

The case remains unsolved, leaving a void in the lives of her loved ones and a community still seeking answers and justice for her untimely death.
