Bridgeport’s 12th Homicide On Wood Avenue

Just after midnight Saturday morning police received a call for shots fired at 1000 Beechwood Ave. The victim said she had received threats prior to the incident. Almost immediately afterwards another call at 46 Wood Avenue with a man down. It is unknown if the calls are connected since they are over a mile apart.

The victim was rushed to the hospital where police confirmed he died of his injuries. Police are looking for a black male with braids who fled in a black or blue mini-van with squeaky breaks. Police are investigating.
