Trenton Scroggins (7 Dec 1989 - 21 Nov 2009) [49719]

Juvenile charged in murder of 19-year-old cousin

By Lucas Sullivan | Tuesday, March 16, 2010, 01:58 PM

DAYTON - A murder charge has been filed against a 16-year-old boy who police said shot his cousin to death in November over a dispute about drugs.

The juvenile’s name is not being released but Montgomery County Prosecutor’s and he has yet to be indicted by a grand jury in the death Trenton Scroggins, prosecutor’s spokesman Greg Flannagan said Tuesday, March 16.

The teen has been in the Juvenile Justice Center since Scroggins was shot in late November and is expected to be transferred to the county jail at some point, Flannagan said. If indicted, prosecutors will seek to try the juvenile as an adult, Flannagan said.

The cousins got into a dispute on Nov. 21 about 8 p.m. over a drug debt and guns were displayed, Sgt. Gary White said at the time. Scroggins, then 19, was shot multiple times and died hours later during surgery at Miami Valley Hospital, authorities said.

The shooting appeared to be gang-related and police had a difficult time getting witnesses to cooperate, authorities said.

Scroggins was the city’s 37th homicide victim of 2009. To check the status of all homicides since 2008 and view an interactive map where they occurred, click here.

Rev. Edward Clarence 'Eddie' Scroggins [9165]

Reverend Eddie Scroggins April 22, 1917 - January 30, 2010 Rev. Eddie Scroggins was taken to his eternal rest Saturday, January 30 at his home in Grand Junction at the age of 92. Edward Clarence Scroggins was born on April 22, 1917 in Eldorado, OK to A.A. (Bud) [9155] and Pearl [9164] Scroggins. He was raised in Oklahoma with his brothers, Earl [9166] (deceased), Ray [9167], and Wayne [9168]. He joined the U.S. Navy in 1941 and was aboard the USS Astoria stationed at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. In 1942, he was given a medical discharge from the service and he returned to Oklahoma. He worked in Lawton, OK as a fireman, attended Cameron College, and met his future bride and lifelong companion, Ruth June Green [8865]. Eddie and June celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on January 19, 2010. Brother Eddie, as he was known to his extended church family, received his call to the ministry in Lawton and he and June began their service to the Lord that continued for the remainder of his life. Eddie served churches in Oklahoma, began a family, and graduated from Oklahoma Baptist University. In 1951, the Scroggins family moved to Colorado to serve at the Calvary Baptist Church at Cortez. In 1955, the family moved to Grand Junction, where Eddie helped begin and build Trinity Baptist Church on Orchard Mesa. After serving at Trinity for many years, Eddie felt called to help rebuild church work in Delta, Paonia, DeBeque, and in Grand Junction. He retired from the pulpit after bringing the message at his 90th birthday celebration at Emmanuel Baptist Church, where he remained a member. Eddie had a passion for serving the Lord both at church and in the community. He was a substitute teacher in local schools for many years, and later, he worked as a juvenile counselor at the Mesa County Sheriff's office. He was an avid supporter of school sports teams and was a fixture at JUCO. He presided over hundreds of weddings and funerals crossing generations of families, including his own children and grandchildren. Eddie's ardent Christian witness and his devotion to God, love of people, and goodness of heart have left a lasting impact on the lives he touched. II Timothy 4:7-8 Eddie and June had seven children, Joy Walker [8867] (Leroy) [8883] , Delta, Sterling [8868] (Paula) [18640], Washington, D.C.; Stephen [8869] (Ronda) [13012], Palisade; John Stanley [?] (deceased); Gloria Trujillo [8870] (Mike) [8870], Espa–ola, NM; Dwayne [8871] (deceased), and Dennis [8872] (Chary) [?], Jakarta, Indonesia; as well as 16 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.
