On the evening of January 2, 2022, 36-year-old Andre Brown was shot in the front yard of a residence on Marcel Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Officers found him with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to St. Vincent’s Medical Center and died a short time later.

Friends described Brown as loving and jovial. Born in Jamaica, he had moved to Connecticut about five years earlier after living in the Bronx and was a father to a young son. Investigators treated the attack as an isolated incident and reported that Brown likely knew his attacker. That night he had gone outside to speak with a woman he knew; earlier the same day she had reportedly thrown him out of their shared apartment on North Avenue.

The woman has been identified as his former girlfriend, Iyana Reynolds. A witness said Reynolds sped away from the scene in a silver Mercedes SUV; that vehicle was later found abandoned in the Bronx. Reynolds was tracked to Montego Bay, Jamaica, and returned to the United States to face charges. Does anyone who knew Andre or saw activity on Marcel Street that night have information to share?
