On the evening of August 4, 2026, 19-year-old Chavis Goldson was fatally shot on the 50 block of Judson Avenue in New Haven. Police say the shooting occurred at about 8:17 p.m. and appears to have been a prearranged, targeted meeting. Goldson and 25-year-old Lorenzo Foreman were found inside a black Honda sedan with life-threatening gunshot wounds and were both pronounced dead at Yale New Haven Hospital.

The volley of gunfire also endangered nearby residents. A stray bullet tore through the second-floor wall of a home, and a 13-year-old girl inside was hurt by plaster and debris; her injuries were treated at a hospital and were not life-threatening. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified, and investigators continue to seek information. If anyone has details about the shooting on Judson Avenue, please contact the police tip lines.
