Chase Garrett, 39, was shot and killed on Sunday, June 19, 2022, outside the apartment building on Franklin Avenue in Hartford where he lived with his girlfriend, 27-year-old Christina Dang, and their four-month-old son, Chosen-One. The couple’s infant was temporarily taken into the custody of the Department of Children and Families before being placed with relatives. The shooting followed a dispute described by authorities as over a dog; Christina Dang was also killed and a woman in her 20s believed to be the dog’s owner was critically injured.

Family described Garrett as a devoted father, a fashion enthusiast who ran a clothing line called Chase Dreamz, and a generous, kind-spirited man. Hartford police identified 31-year-old Donovan McFarlane as a person of interest; he was wounded in the incident, turned himself in to speak with detectives, and was later arrested and charged with criminal possession of a firearm as the homicide investigation continued.
