On the morning of August 11, 2023, a drive‑by ambush in the Parkville neighborhood of Hartford left two men dead. Jose Valdes, 34, and 39‑year‑old Jonathan Roseboro were standing near Park and Hazel streets just after 1:15 a.m. when a black Nissan pulled up and four occupants fired dozens of rounds. At least 17 bullet holes struck a nearby home, a commercial building, and a car. One man was pronounced dead at the scene and the other died later at a hospital; the text identifies Jose Valdes as one of the victims.

Police found the Nissan abandoned and set on fire on Woodland Street in Windsor and believe the shooters were picked up by another vehicle. Investigators say the multiple shooters and heavy fire are similar to several recent Hartford shootings. No arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly announced.

If anyone has information about Valdes, Roseboro, or the vehicles involved, contact the Hartford Police Major Crimes Division.
