On the night of December 31, 2023, a domestic dispute in a North Street apartment in New Britain, Connecticut, ended with 44-year-old Sabrina Finch shot in the upper abdomen and pronounced dead at the scene. The confrontation reportedly began when her boyfriend of nearly ten years, 44-year-old Antoine Harris, accused Finch of stealing his shoes. According to reports, Harris shot Finch’s paralyzed brother in the back as he lay in bed, then shot Finch’s mother in the leg before killing Finch in front of her mother.

Finch’s mother, despite her injury, escaped through a window and called for help. Police found Sabrina Finch unresponsive; her brother and mother were taken to a local hospital, the brother in critical condition and the mother later released. Harris fled but was located a short time later on Richard Street, taken into custody and charged with murder, two counts of first-degree assault, criminal use of a weapon, and criminal possession of a pistol. He was initially held on $1.8 million bond, later increased to $3 million.

Friends and family mourned Finch, and her daughter said she had long feared for her mother’s safety because of Harris’s behavior. Did anyone nearby that night see or hear anything that could help explain how the argument escalated?
