Luis Nelson Perez, 27, a Hispanic man from Naugatuck, was fatally shot in New Haven in the pre-dawn hours of June 20, 2020. At about 2:55 a.m. a ShotSpotter alert and numerous 911 calls brought police to Elliot Street, between Sylvan and Davenport Avenues, where responders found Perez lying in the street with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.

New Haven police cordoned off the scene while detectives and crime scene teams canvassed the Hill neighborhood and collected evidence. Authorities did not release a motive or identify any persons of interest; the investigation was described as ongoing. There have been no public announcements of arrests or suspect identifications.

Does anyone who was in the Hill neighborhood that night have information that could help clarify what happened to Luis Nelson Perez?
