On May 6, 2026, Daniel Peart, 20, was found inside a blue Hyundai on Easton Avenue in Waterbury, Connecticut, with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Police discovered the body after a report of shots fired just before 3:15 a.m.; the scene, near Jonathan Reed Elementary School, was held for more than 10 hours while detectives processed the vehicle and surrounding area and dusted the car for fingerprints. Peart’s body was removed around noon and the vehicle was towed for further examination.

Waterbury police later appealed to the public for information, but there have been no public announcements naming suspects or reporting any arrests. The investigation remains open, and the family and neighborhood are left without answers.

Does anyone have information about that area or that early-morning period on May 6 that could help investigators?
