A late-night argument at Elizabeth’s Bar & Restaurant in Bloomfield, Connecticut, turned deadly in the early hours of February 22, 2020. Aaron Walker, 43, of Windsor, was shot in the chest and leg in the parking lot across the street from the Bloomfield Police Department and later died at a nearby hospital. His adoptive brother and cousin, 42-year-old Franklin Spencer of East Hartford, was shot twice in the head and also died at the hospital.

Bloomfield police identified 44-year-old Russell Smith of Windsor as the suspect and charged him with two counts of murder. He fled the state and was captured more than five months later by the U.S. Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force and Bloomfield police, then extradited to Connecticut. Smith’s trial revealed a long-standing feud between him and the two men; he claimed self-defense.

Does anyone in the area remember the night of February 22, 2020, or have information about the dispute that led to these killings?
