On August 11, 2023, just after 1:15 a.m., Jonathan Roseboro, 39, and 34-year-old Jose Valdes were ambushed in a targeted shooting near Park and Hazel streets in Hartford’s Parkville neighborhood. Four shooters in a dark-colored Nissan sedan opened fire, then fled; both men were found unresponsive, one pronounced dead at the scene and the other later dying at a hospital. Investigators counted at least 17 bullet strikes in the area, damaging a house, a commercial building, and a car.

Police say the Nissan was later found burning on Woodland Street in Windsor and released images of a silver Audi with a sunroof and tinted windows believed tied to other recent targeted shootings. No arrests have been announced. Jonathan Roseboro, known as JayR, was from West Hartford, born on an Air Force base in Florida and raised in Bridgeport. He was a father and partner, worked as a grill master, barber, and landscaper, and was remembered for his charm and love of bowling and the Dallas Cowboys.

Did anyone in the Parkville area see a dark Nissan or a silver Audi around 1 a.m. on August 11, 2023?
