On the evening of April 4, 2022, gunfire erupted at the intersection of Mather and Bedford Streets in Hartford, Connecticut. Jermaine Cardiaye Robert Davis, 33, was found fatally wounded after what investigators describe as a targeted attack in which multiple assailants reportedly exited a vehicle and opened fire on a gathered group. Two other men suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, and a fourth victim later arrived at a local hospital.

Police were alerted by the city’s ShotSpotter system. A burned-out older, light-colored Infiniti was later located in nearby South Windsor and is being treated as a vehicle of interest. The motive for the assault remains unclear, and no arrests have been announced. Davis is remembered in the community as a beloved figure, and his death prompted renewed calls to end gun violence.

Anyone with information about the shooting, the burned Infiniti, or events leading up to that night is urged to contact the Hartford Police Department.
