On the morning of September 13, 2022, 28-year-old Jose Arriaga of Hartford was shot and later died at a hospital from multiple gunshot wounds to his torso. About an hour before the shooting he called a friend, saying a man he knew as Juicy had just shot at him on Williams Street and missed. Around 1 a.m., ShotSpotter detected multiple gunshots near the 300 block of Hillside Avenue. Officers responding to a reported crash found Arriaga unresponsive inside a vehicle that had struck parked cars; investigators say he lost control after being shot.

Surveillance footage reviewed by detectives shows a Ford Taurus and a Jeep Cherokee arrive and park on Hillside Avenue, a man identified by police as 45-year-old Donald Parker, known as Juicy, exiting the Taurus, and two men approaching Arriaga’s Infiniti. Ballistics, witness statements, Arriaga’s phone call, and the video led police to identify Parker as the primary suspect. The Taurus was registered to him. On November 28, 2022, Hartford police and U.S. Marshals located and arrested Parker at an East Hartford residence; he was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and criminal possession of a firearm and held on $1.5 million bond.

Did anyone in the area see the vehicles or the men that night who hasn’t already spoken to police?
