On the night of March 30, 2021, gunfire erupted in a Hartford neighborhood near the 100 block of Westland Street. Amauris Flores, a 26-year-old Hispanic man, was shot around 11 p.m. A ShotSpotter activation alerted police to the area; officers found evidence of a shooting but the victim was not at the scene. A short time later a local hospital notified police that a man with multiple gunshot wounds had arrived. That man was identified as Amauris Flores, who later died at the hospital.

Hartford police opened a homicide investigation. In September 2022 authorities arrested 22-year-old Tylon E. Ceasar at the state Superior Court in Hartford and charged him with murder; bail was set at $1 million. At that time Ceasar was already facing separate first-degree assault with a firearm and conspiracy to commit first-degree assault charges from a different incident. Flores’s family and the community group Mothers United Against Violence held a candlelight prayer vigil after his death.

Does anyone have information about Flores’s last known movements or the shooting on Westland Street?
