On the morning of May 24, 2024, police responded to a report of a possible shooting at a third-floor apartment at 159 Wethersfield Avenue in Hartford and found 57-year-old Andrew Gunn dead from a gunshot wound to the head and neck. The death was initially treated as suspicious and an autopsy confirmed the fatal gunshot injuries.

Investigators focused on a fellow resident, 47-year-old Rene June Almodovar, after three witnesses implicated him. One witness who had been in the apartment said Gunn was about to leave to get more drugs when a single gunshot sounded and Gunn fell; that witness said Almodovar then told them to blame a man named George and threatened them and a cousin. Surveillance showed Almodovar wearing a backpack that was later recovered in Colt Park; the backpack contained the firearm tied to the killing. A shell casing from the apartment and a bullet recovered from Gunn matched that gun, and DNA consistent with Almodovar’s was found on the magazine. Almodovar was arrested, charged with murder, criminal possession of a firearm and first-degree witness threatening, held on $2.5 million bail and has pleaded not guilty.

Does anyone have information about activity at 159 Wethersfield Avenue or Colt Park around May 24 that could help the investigation?
