Terrence Cramer, 41, was shot and killed in Stratford, Connecticut, in the early hours of Saturday, March 28, 2026. Police were called to a Feeley Street residence at about 1:44 a.m. for a reported shooting and found Cramer with a severe gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Cramer was a nearly 10-year veteran of the Bridgeport Fire Department, remembered by colleagues as a dedicated public servant.

Authorities identified a suspect the same day. At about 4:30 p.m., police apprehended 41-year-old Jabari Bush of West Haven in Derby after a brief vehicle pursuit. An arrest warrant charged Bush with murder, home invasion, and criminal possession of a firearm and noted a prior conviction for first-degree assault with a firearm from the early 2000s. Warrant details allege the shooting followed a domestic dispute at the home of Bush’s ex-girlfriend, who told police Bush had been contacting her after she ended the relationship in January and had allegedly forced entry, assaulted her, and then shot Cramer upon finding him in the bedroom.

More than 60 of Cramer’s fellow firefighters attended the defendant’s arraignment to show support for their fallen colleague. If anyone has information about the shooting or the days leading up to it, please share what is known.
