Seventeen-year-old Sean K. Warren, a Black youth from Bridgeport, was shot late on Friday, July 12, 2019, in the area of Horace Street and York Avenue during two large parties. Police responded shortly after 11 p.m. and found Sean with a gunshot wound to the right side of his chest. He was taken to Bridgeport Hospital and died there at 12:27 a.m. on Saturday, July 13, 2019, six days before his 18th birthday. His death was the city’s 11th homicide of the year.

Detectives interviewed numerous people and reviewed video from the scene. Investigators learned Sean had been the front passenger in a parked car when two men opened fire, striking the vehicle multiple times. Early in the probe, police identified 18-year-old John Jordan as a key suspect; he was not immediately charged in the homicide but was later arrested on separate gun and drug charges.

Sean was reported to be a member or associate of the O.N.E. Gang, and the shooting was tied to rival gang activity in the city. Does anyone who was in that neighborhood on July 12, 2019, or who knew Sean, have information that could help fill gaps in the timeline or identify witnesses?
