Douglas Daniels Jr., 37, of New Haven, was shot and killed in Waterbury on the evening of July 24, 2021. The shooting occurred near East Farm and Orange Streets at about 8:15 p.m.; Daniels suffered gunshot wounds to his shoulder and chest and was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Two other people were also wounded — one shot in the leg and another with a head wound.

The attack happened shortly after a rap concert at the Off The Hook Lounge on East Farm Street. Investigators say shots were fired from a vehicle; surveillance footage showed an SUV leaving the venue with Reginald Miles Jr., 31, and Andre Reed, 29, inside. Witnesses reported multiple shots from that vehicle and said there did not appear to be any altercation before the shooting.

By August 2021 Reed and Miles had been arrested on murder, conspiracy, assault and firearm-related charges; Reed was held on $2 million bond and Miles on $3 million bond. Did anyone who attended the concert or was in the area that night see the SUV or the moments leading up to the shooting?
