Bridgeport News: Shooting Victims Identified
#Bridgeport CT--The 54-year-old murder victim from the Copa Restaurant on Lexington Avenue in Bridgeport Connecticut has been identified as Mr. Joselito Calderon. The 30-year-old non-fatal shooting victim has been identified as Mr. Niel Francisco. Calling Mr. Calderon’s death and Mr. Francisco’s assault tragic is an understatement. It is unacceptable.

I urge anyone with information regarding this incident to contact Detective Heanue at 203-581-5242 or utilize the Bridgeport Police Tips Line at 203-576-TIPS.

Bridgeport News: Man Shot
2021-07-10@7:43pm--#Bridgeport CT-- A man was shot in the groin on Ogden Street according to a number of viewers. This is FOUR shootings and one home invasion that our viewers had to report to me. You can't hide these Mr. Mayor. The media USE to get reports of "assault with a dangerous weapon" from the police department but this is the fifth missed report. You might be able to hide it from me but the public obviously wants it reported. City council is equal to blame as they sit idly by not caring about being informed or doing anything about the violence themselves. Thank you Nancy for providing this picture.
