On the evening of October 14, 2023, a dispute at the intersection of Cedar and Cassius streets in New Haven turned deadly. Tyrese Alexander Blue Jr., a 26-year-old Black man, was shot in the chest after what police described as an argument. First responders found him unresponsive at about 8:35 p.m.; they performed CPR but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ballistic evidence was recovered and investigators from the Major Crimes Unit and the Bureau of Identification cordoned off the area to collect evidence, speak with witnesses, and search for surveillance footage. The city’s ShotSpotter system was not activated during the shooting. Little else has been made public about what led to the argument or who was present that evening.
