Shernetta Dunmore, a 35-year-old Black woman from Stamford, Connecticut, was killed after a late-summer celebration moved from Cummings Park to a parking lot at the Ursula Place Housing Complex. In the early hours of September 20, 2020, gunfire erupted at the gathering; Dunmore was struck by numerous bullets, taken to Stamford Hospital, and died of her injuries. Two other people were wounded and survived.

The Stamford Police Department Major Crimes Unit conducted a six-month investigation in coordination with the Stamford State’s Attorney’s Office and identified a suspect. In April 2021, 28-year-old Ian Evans of Bridgeport was arrested and charged with murder; he was already in custody on charges related to the non-fatal shooting of another victim from the same incident and was held on $2 million bail. Court proceedings have followed, including a trial where video evidence was presented and the jury reached verdicts.

Does anyone have information about the night of September 20, 2020, at Ursula Place or about people who attended that gathering?
