A drive-up shooting on Judson Avenue in New Haven left two young men dead on the evening of August 4, 2026. Police responded to reports of multiple people shot at about 8:17 p.m. and found a black Honda sedan with 25-year-old Lorenzo Foreman, a West Haven resident, and 19-year-old Chavis Goldson of New Haven, both suffering gunshot wounds. Paramedics transported them to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where both were pronounced dead.

Investigators say the two were targeted shortly after arriving on Judson Avenue rather than being victims of a random act. A stray bullet also struck the wall of a nearby home; a 13-year-old girl inside was initially thought to be grazed but doctors later determined her injuries were caused by debris and plaster. Her wounds were not life-threatening and she was released. New Haven’s mayor Justin Elicker was at the scene and commented on the situation.

No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified and the New Haven Police Department describes the investigation as active. Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives or use the anonymous tip line.
