Otis Powell, a 30-year-old Black man from West Haven, was killed just before 1 a.m. on Thanksgiving, November 23, 2023. The shooting took place outside Terminal 110 nightclub on Sargent Drive in New Haven as patrons were leaving. Powell approached police after the shots and said he had been shot; he was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital and died in the early hours of the morning.

Police confirmed gunfire occurred, though the ShotSpotter system did not activate. As of late 2023 the investigation remained open; no suspects have been identified and no arrests announced.

If anyone was leaving Terminal 110 that night or has surveillance or other information, please contact New Haven authorities.
