Tyeshon King, 35, was fatally shot in a parking lot in the 600 block of Trumbull Avenue in Bridgeport on the evening of February 6, 2023. Bridgeport’s ShotSpotter system detected gunfire and witnesses reported the shooting; officers found King with multiple gunshot wounds and he was taken to St. Vincent’s Medical Center where he died. The location was near his family’s home and his children, including an 8-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son, remembered him as an awesome father.

Bridgeport Police Department’s Detective Bureau Homicide Squad opened an investigation, saying they were following several leads and believed the shooting was targeted rather than random. No public announcement of arrests or identified suspects has been made and the investigation remains open. If anyone has information about what happened that night, contact Bridgeport police.
