Malcolm Carr, 30, was shot late on the evening of Monday, July 8, 2019, on Main Street in Hartford. He was taken to a nearby hospital and died the following morning, recorded as the city’s 12th homicide that year. Carr was described as a Black male.

Investigators linked Carr’s killing to a violent summer wave in the city and to another nearby slaying days later of his friend Anthony Wright. Antoine Keaton was initially named as a person of interest; authorities said both homicides appeared to have arisen from physical altercations.

In January 2020, Hartford police arrested 26-year-old Rayshod Johnson after a foot chase and charged him with Carr’s murder plus criminal possession and criminal use of a firearm. Johnson was found with a loaded high-capacity magazine and had bond set at a total of $2 million.

If anyone witnessed the shooting on Main Street or has information about the events that summer, please share what is known.
