Tyshaun Hargrove was a 14-year-old Black male and promising basketball player when he was fatally shot on the night of August 25, 2021, in New Haven, Connecticut. The shooting occurred about 10:51 p.m. in the parking lot of an apartment complex on Chatham Street in the Fair Haven neighborhood. Police responding to multiple 911 calls found Hargrove with gunshot wounds; he was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital and pronounced dead. He was an incoming freshman at James Hillhouse High School, a father to a one-year-old child, and played point guard for the AAU Elm City Elite team.

Authorities described the incident as an isolated, targeted shooting, with no immediate motive announced and no indication that complex residents were involved. Detectives canvassed the area and reviewed surveillance footage. By late 2025 no arrests or suspects had been publicly identified, and related violence continued around the case, including a September 2024 shooting at a memorial for Hargrove that injured several people.

Does anyone have information about Tyshaun’s activities or contacts in Fair Haven on the night of August 25, 2021?
