On the evening of January 16, 2021, Jorge Osorio-Caballero, a 32-year-old Hispanic man, was shot while sitting in his parked car on Grand Avenue in the Fair Haven neighborhood of New Haven. ShotSpotter alerted police at about 8:30 PM to gunfire near Grand Avenue and Lloyd Street. Officers found Osorio-Caballero’s vehicle crashed into the side of a commercial building at 337 Grand Avenue; he had sustained gunshot wounds and, after being taken to Yale New Haven Hospital by New Haven Fire Department and American Medical Response, was pronounced dead.

Family and friends described him as charismatic and hardworking, someone who enjoyed soccer and biking and who sent money home to his parents in Mexico. In the weeks afterward no immediate arrests were announced, and by early March 2021 community frustration grew over the investigation’s pace. Unidad Latina en Acción organized a caravan urging more action and raised concerns the case was not receiving equal attention. The New Haven Police Department said the investigation remained active and that officers were in contact with the family.

Does anyone in the Fair Haven area that night have information that could help bring answers about what happened to Jorge?
