Dwayne Saunders, 52, was killed in Hartford, Connecticut, during an altercation on June 19, 2021. The violence began in the pre-dawn hours after an argument over money between Saunders and his 35-year-old son, Tyrone Smith. Court records say Smith and a friend, 33-year-old Gerardo Santiago, went to Saunders’s Alden Street apartment; Smith allegedly kicked down the door and the confrontation moved from inside the ransacked apartment into the street.

Witnesses and security cameras captured parts of the confrontation. He had been stabbed and shot multiple times and was pronounced dead minutes after arrival at Hartford Hospital. Responding officers arrested Smith and Santiago nearby; Smith was seen discarding a .380-caliber handgun. Both were charged with murder, first-degree robbery, and first-degree attempted robbery and held on $2 million bond.

Does anyone have information about the events on Alden Street that morning or saw activity around the apartment before the attack?
