On the afternoon of August 28, 2021, 21-year-old Jamel Hayden was shot in his red Honda CRV on Lincoln Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Police were called about a car crash and reports of shots fired around 12:30 p.m.; Hayden was found inside the vehicle with a gunshot wound and later died at St. Vincent’s Medical Center.

Investigators say the encounter began as a planned marijuana sale arranged through Snapchat. Hayden had advertised cannabis and went to the meeting spot, where he was confronted by four teenagers who intended to rob him of about $250 worth of marijuana. According to authorities, 16-year-old Syshone Joyner produced a gun and shot Hayden; Hayden’s vehicle then accelerated and struck several parked cars. Surveillance footage shows the teenagers around the vehicle and fleeing on foot through backyards, and police reported that Joyner later boasted about the shooting.

An arrest has been made in connection with Hayden’s death. Did anyone in Bridgeport see activity on Lincoln Avenue that afternoon or know more about the meeting arranged on Snapchat?
