Seventeen-year-old Camden Siegal was killed by a stray bullet after gunfire broke out in downtown Hartford near the People’sBank Arena on Ann Uccello Street in the early hours of February 22, 2026. He had been waiting for a rideshare with friends when he was struck; first responders found him unresponsive and he died of his wounds on February 24, 2026. A man in his twenties was also wounded and listed in critical but stable condition.

Camden was a senior at William H. Hall High School in West Hartford, an honor roll student who played soccer and lacrosse and served as an editor for the school paper. His family described him as a kind, intentional presence; they donated his organs following his death.

The Hartford Police Department’s Major Crimes and Crime Scene divisions are investigating. As of late February 2026, no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests announced. The probe has included scrutiny of nearby bars and nightclubs and a state review of one nightclub for possible violations.
