On the night of June 13, 2023, 18-year-old Zaid Deje Langs-Myers was found suffering from gunshot wounds outside the Lincoln Town Car he had been driving at High Street and Walnut Street in Hartford. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Investigators traced the vehicle’s movements to the 30 block of Brook Street using city surveillance and found evidence of gunfire there, concluding the shooting occurred before the crash scene.

Police believe Zaid was shot during an attempted robbery and that a large amount of marijuana found at the crash scene may have been the motive. After being shot he appears to have tried to flee, striking another car on Albany Avenue before the final crash. A passenger in Zaid’s car was uninjured and has cooperated with investigators. The Hartford Police Major Crimes and Crime Scene Divisions are leading the investigation and said they had several strong leads, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains open.

If anyone knew Zaid or has information about his movements or the 30 block of Brook Street that night, can you share what you know with investigators?
