On the night of January 29, 2021, in Hartford, Connecticut, 27-year-old Michael Dudley was fatally shot around 9:31 p.m. in the rear lot of a Webster Street address. Paramedics performed life-saving measures but he was pronounced deceased at the scene. Dudley lived in Durham and is remembered by family as protective and caring; relatives say he may have been killed while protecting a friend during an altercation, though police have not confirmed a motive.

Hartford Police Major Crimes and Crime Scene Divisions investigated and identified a suspect, 21-year-old Jordan Register of Greenfield, Massachusetts. Register was located in Springfield, Massachusetts, and on February 4, 2021 was taken into custody without incident by the Massachusetts State Police Fugitive Unit and the Springfield Police Department. He was charged with murder and held on $1.7 million bond awaiting extradition to Connecticut.
