Becky Switzer, 49, was shot in the head during an incident on Eastern Avenue in Waterbury, Connecticut, in the early hours of June 15, 2023. Police responded at about 12:55 a.m.; Switzer was transported to a local hospital and died from her injuries on the night of June 20, 2023. The Waterbury Police Major Crime Unit opened an investigation into the fatal shooting.

On February 6, 2024, U.S. Marshals’ Violent Fugitive Task Force located and arrested 29-year-old Tyjha Ali Watson at a residence on Ash Street in Waterbury. Authorities allege Watson fired into the Eastern Avenue apartment that morning, with the bullet striking Switzer. A .40 caliber Ruger was recovered from the home, though it was not immediately confirmed to be the weapon used in the shooting. Watson faces state charges including murder, criminal possession and use of a firearm, first-degree reckless endangerment, possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle, and illegal discharge of a weapon.

Does anyone have information about Switzer’s movements that night or who else might have been at the Eastern Avenue apartment?
