On the night of March 30, 2024, Richard Davis, a 30-year-old Black man from Bridgeport, was fatally shot outside an illegal gambling club on Stratford Avenue. Police found Davis and 32-year-old Tayvon Geter wounded around 11:00 p.m.; both were taken to Bridgeport Hospital and died of their injuries. Authorities say the shooting began during a robbery attempt allegedly started by Davis and Geter inside the club and escalated into a gunfight that left two other people wounded — a 34-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man, both from Bridgeport, treated and reported in stable condition. The Bridgeport Police Detective Bureau Homicide Squad arrested several people in the probe: a 38-year-old Bridgeport man charged with criminal possession of a firearm, tampering with evidence, and stealing a firearm; another man also arrested in connection with the case; and a woman charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and illegal gambling. City officials said they would target illegal establishments believed to contribute to violence.
