Shortly after midnight on August 8, 2021, a verbal dispute at the intersection of Goodrich and Butler streets in Hamden, Connecticut, escalated into fatal violence. Tyishoun Matheney, 27 and a New Haven resident, was found in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital and pronounced dead several hours later. Reports say he was shot in the back and then shot several more times after falling to the ground.

A joint investigation by the Hamden and New Haven police departments, the Department of Correction, and the FBI identified two people involved. Brian Ward, who was with Matheney during the altercation, was later charged in September 2022 with criminal attempt to commit first-degree assault and illegal discharge of a firearm; he pleaded and in November 2023 received a five-year sentence for firing at the shooter. On March 1, 2023, police arrested Ryan Moore, 35, of New Haven, charging him with murder, criminal possession of a firearm, and carrying a pistol without a permit; he was in DOC custody on unrelated charges and had bond set at $2.5 million.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information about the events on Goodrich and Butler streets that night who can help clarify what happened?
