Ansonia Police seek information from public on fatal shooting

 


ANSONIA - The Ansonia Police Department received a 911 call at about 12:50 p.m. today from a male reporting he was on Main Street near Kingston Drive and his friend was shot. 

The first officers on scene found a silver Honda and the passenger was suffering from a gunshot wound. 

Officers provided first aid until an ambulance arrived and the victim was transported to a local hospital where he died as a result of his injuries, Lt. Patrick Lynch said in a written release this evening.

 

During the initial investigation, information was obtained that the shooting took place on Hubbell Avenue near Sixth Street. A check of that area was done and a shell casing was recovered on Hubbell Avenue, Lynch said. 

It was also learned the shooting happened during an attempted drug purchase where the suspect fired into the Honda striking the victim. 

The Honda then fled the scene before stopping on Main Street and calling 911.

 

The victim, a 20 year-old male from Stratford, has been tentatively identified and his name will be released at a later time, Lynch said.

 

The suspect was described as a young black male wearing all dark-colored clothing and he left the area on foot.

 

Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact the police department at 203-735-1885 or anonymous tips can be left at Tip411 at the link below.
