Jeffrey Vanech, 49, was fatally shot on the evening of December 7, 2020, in Stamford, Connecticut. The shooting happened about 5:20 p.m. near Henry and Cedar streets in the city’s South End while Vanech was seated in his parked vehicle. First responders found him lying in the roadway, provided aid, and rushed him to Stamford Hospital, where he died.

An arrest was made the next day when 36-year-old Freddie Hicks, a convicted felon from Stamford, was taken into custody. A witness reported seeing the gunman hand something to Hicks immediately after the shooting, and a firearm believed to be the weapon used in the killing was recovered during a search of a Cedar Street residence. Hicks was charged with criminal possession of a firearm, hindering prosecution, and tampering with evidence. Further investigation pointed to another individual as the alleged shooter and indicated a motive tied to a debt of about $600. Vanech had told a family member he felt he was being hunted in the days before he died.

Did anyone in Stamford see or hear anything around Henry and Cedar streets that evening, or know more about the relationship between Vanech and the person he reportedly owed money to?
