Anthony Martinez, 37, was fatally shot on a Wednesday afternoon in November 2020 after giving a relative a ride. He was taken to Bridgeport Hospital with a gunshot wound, and police later learned the shooting occurred at a residence at 402 Burritt Avenue in Stratford. Officers searched the Stratford home and collected evidence; police described speaking with persons of interest but made no arrests. The death was recorded as Stratford’s second homicide of the year.

Known affectionately as Big A, Martinez was a husband and father who with his wife had opened the Hot Spot Barber Shop in Bridgeport three years earlier. Family and friends remember him as a soul mate and a king of hearts. The investigation has not produced arrests and has since gone cold.

Did anyone in the Bridgeport or Stratford area see activity near 402 Burritt Avenue that November day or have information that could help the family find answers?
