Just before dawn on July 3, 2023, 43-year-old Gregory Betsey was fatally shot while walking with his girlfriend through a rear parking lot on Prospect Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. A citizen reported the shooting a little before 5:30 a.m.; Betsey was found unresponsive behind a building, transported to St. Francis Hospital and pronounced dead days shy of his 44th birthday.

Hartford police investigators used witness statements and surveillance footage to identify a suspect the same day. Officers arrested 27-year-old Jordan Green, who lived nearby, and charged him with murder plus multiple firearm and drug offenses, including eight counts of criminal possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance. The arrest warrant says Green’s girlfriend watched from their third-floor porch as Betsey and his girlfriend walked below; after a brief interaction and then moving to an adjacent lot, Green allegedly approached dressed in all black and began shooting. In a recorded interview, Green reportedly admitted the killing, saying he recognized Betsey from an earlier robbery and retrieved a revolver before saying he shot until he was out of ammunition.

Does anyone have information about Betsey’s movements that morning or surveillance from the Prospect Avenue area?
