On the morning of March 5, 2019, 34-year-old Jerrell Gatewood was struck by a single bullet in a drive-by shooting outside a sports bar on Connecticut Avenue near Fifth Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Medics took him to Bridgeport Hospital, where he died shortly after arrival. The shooting was the city’s sixth homicide that year.

Gatewood, a self-employed handyman and the youngest of three brothers, was remembered by family and friends as devoted to his mother and a loving father who liked to make people laugh. Detectives noted that Gatewood had survived an earlier shooting to the chest on his 29th birthday in September 2013, and investigators treated the 2019 attack as a targeted killing.

No arrests had been announced in the case for more than two years after the murder. Does anyone have information about Gatewood, where he spent time, or who might help explain why he was targeted?
