Gregory Robertson, 40, was in Waterbury, Connecticut, visiting his son when he was killed in the early hours of July 16, 2023. Robertson, who had moved from Bridgeport to Fredericksburg, Virginia, a decade earlier and was described by his fiancée as devoted to his family, was inside the Bunker Social Club on Watertown Avenue when a dispute that did not involve him erupted. During the altercation gunfire broke out; Robertson was struck and pronounced dead at the scene. Two other men were also shot and taken to Saint Mary’s Hospital in stable condition.

Surveillance footage later showed 34-year-old German Pena-Lopez drawing a gun and pointing it at 29-year-old Joshua Morales, who fired during a struggle. Pena-Lopez was shot in the back and Robertson was hit by the crossfire. Pena-Lopez was arrested July 18, 2023, on weapons charges, and Morales was arrested in Hartford in August 2023 on murder, first-degree assault and firearm charges. Prosecutors later reduced Morales’s charge to manslaughter with a firearm; on January 15, 2026, he pleaded guilty and received a 15-year sentence.

Did anyone in Waterbury see Robertson the night before the shooting or have information about what led to the dispute inside the club?
