On the late evening of June 22, 2020, 52-year-old Wayne Canute Woolcock was shot in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Officers responding to reports of gunfire near 750 William Street found him with multiple gunshot wounds at about 10:45 p.m. He was taken to Bridgeport Hospital but died a short time later.

Woolcock’s death was reported as the city’s eighth homicide that year and came the same day another man was killed in a separate shooting, part of a string of violent incidents that unsettled the community. Bridgeport police detectives opened an investigation, but no suspects have been publicly named and no arrests have been announced; the case has grown cold.

He was remembered by family and friends for his positive energy, kindness, and care for others. If anyone has information that could help investigators, please share what is known with the Bridgeport Police Department.
