Anthony Strother, an 18-year-old Black male, was fatally shot on the night of May 16, 2022, on South Genesee Street in New Haven near East Ramsdell Street and Harper Avenue. Officers responded to a report of a person shot at about 11:20 p.m. and found Strother at the scene with gunshot wounds; he was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital, where he died.

The New Haven Police Department’s Bureau of Identification processed the scene and collected ballistic evidence. Detectives from the Major Crimes Unit are handling the investigation, which has been classified as a homicide. At the time, his death was the city’s fourth homicide of the year. No arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified. A juvenile was later arrested after a fight at a vigil and found with a handgun, but that arrest has not been tied to Strother’s killing. Community leaders and mentors who had been working with Strother joined his family in calling for justice and an end to gun violence.
