Why did he do it and why did he do it when kids were around? Troy didn't deserve that. Neither did any of the kids that witnessed it. Glad they caught him but this shouldn't have happened.

On the night of August 9, 2021, 29-year-old Troy Reid, a Black/African American man, was found inside a vehicle behind a Sterling Street residence in Hartford, Connecticut, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 11:30 p.m. after officers had responded to a shooting report at about 11:20 p.m.

Police arrested a 35-year-old man identified as Tanoah Jones of Augusta, Georgia, at the scene without incident. Jones was charged with murder and with additional counts including three counts of risk of injury to a minor, carrying a pistol without a permit, and possession of a high-capacity magazine; he was held on $2 million bond. Authorities said Jones was cooperating with the investigation but did not immediately disclose a motive.

If anyone saw activity near Sterling Street that night or has information about Reid’s movements before the shooting, please come forward.
