In the early hours of September 2, 2018, 28-year-old Hispanic/Latino man Matthew Diaz was shot in the back near 91 Berkeley Avenue in Waterbury, Connecticut. Police say officers arrived about 3:30 a.m. after reports of a shooting and found Diaz; CPR was given and he was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators believe Diaz was fleeing across a parking lot in the Berkeley Heights housing complex when he was shot. The complex is known to be claimed by the 960 gang, and police say the shooting may be connected to a party being hosted there that night, with members of that gang suspected of targeting Diaz. The motive has not been established publicly.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains an unsolved homicide. If anyone was in the Berkeley Heights area that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward to help investigators.
