Aaron Robinson, 15, was fatally shot on April 15, 2025, in New Haven’s Hill neighborhood. Police were alerted by a gunfire detection system shortly after 3 p.m. and found him in a yard off Greenwood Street, between Legion and Sylvan avenues; he was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators described the attack as appearing targeted and said early accounts pointed to multiple assailants, some masked, who struck in broad daylight near his home. Officers canvassed for video and witnesses while family, neighbors and hundreds at a vigil remembered Aaron as energetic, funny and community-minded and demanded answers. Authorities have urged residents to share tips to prevent retaliation and help the investigation, but detectives have not announced any arrests and have not publicly detailed a motive.

If anyone saw activity near Greenwood Street on April 15 or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
