On the night of August 20, 2022, 24-year-old Dominic Battle of Manchester was shot and killed on Maple Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Officers responded after a ShotSpotter alert just before midnight and found Battle unresponsive with a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene despite life-saving efforts by officers and emergency medical services.

Hartford Police Department’s Major Crimes and Crime Scene Divisions treated the death as a homicide and conducted an investigation in the months that followed. In early November 2022 investigators released a grainy black-and-white security-type image showing a male in a white shirt who appeared to be talking on a phone, asking the public for help identifying him. The department supplied a contact phone number and an anonymous tip line for information.

No public information about an arrest or a named suspect has been released. If anyone has information about Dominic Battle’s homicide or recognizes the individual in the released photo, please contact the Hartford Police.
