Deshawn Maysonet, 25, was fatally shot in the Annex neighborhood of New Haven on March 16, 2024. Gunfire erupted on Fairmont Avenue between East Ferry and Lancraft streets in the early hours; a 911 caller reported several shots around 4:20 a.m. Maysonet was privately transported to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries. He was born in New Haven on July 27, 1998, was known as Hump and Jugg, was a father of four, earned a G.E.D., and worked as a mechanic at Town Fair Tire.

New Haven Police are treating the case as a homicide and have said the shooting may be tied to an ongoing feud. Two women were wounded in non-life-threatening ways at a vigil for Maysonet the following evening when shots were fired near Hazel and Newhall streets. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

Anyone who witnessed the March 16 shooting or has information is asked to contact New Haven detectives at 203-946-6304 or submit an anonymous tip at 866-888-TIPS.
