On the morning of May 30, 2019, Jordan Agnew, a 28-year-old Black man from New Haven, Connecticut, was fatally shot in the Beaver Hills neighborhood at about 9:15 a.m. Reports say multiple rounds were fired at his vehicle while he was driving with a child in a rear car seat. Despite being wounded, Agnew drove roughly two blocks before stopping at Osborn Avenue and Glenn Road, where officers found him lying in the street. He was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital and died later that day; the child was not physically harmed.

Agnew was a James Hillhouse High School graduate who attended Johnson & Wales University and was known by the nicknames Mighty Mouse or Mighty. He was a father of three and was survived by his parents, grandparents, and significant other. The New Haven Police Department’s Homicide Unit established crime scenes at the shooting location and where Agnew was found and canvassed the neighborhood; investigators also distributed flyers and asked the public for help. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone has information that could help identify suspects or explain what led to this shooting, please come forward to investigators.
