Leron Vaughn, 29, was shot and later died at Yale New Haven Hospital after officers responding to a ShotSpotter alert found him behind a white Infiniti on the 400 block of Winthrop Avenue in New Haven. The system registered five gunshots at about 1:35 a.m. on September 5, 2023, and multiple 911 calls prompted the police response. Witnesses reported two unidentified people running north on Winthrop Avenue; a K9 track did not produce significant leads.

Detectives have been canvassing the neighborhood and asking nearby businesses for footage that might show the incident or what led up to it. No arrests have been announced and the police have not publicly identified suspects. Vaughn’s family remembered him as loving and loyal; his mother, Phyllis Vaughn, said he loved children and his family. His sister Lakeia Vaughn was also killed by gun violence in the same neighborhood in June 2000. If anyone saw the shooting or has video or other information, can you help the investigation?
