Tavon Cooper, 34, was shot dead at the P.T. Barnum Housing Complex in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on the night of June 21, 2018. He was found unresponsive in the driver’s seat of his white Chevrolet Monte Carlo with a gunshot wound to the head and died after being taken to Bridgeport Hospital. The shooting occurred around 10:30 p.m. during or after a memorial for his 18-year-old nephew, Corbin Cooper, who had died a week earlier after being ejected from a vehicle during a police chase.

Bridgeport police described a chaotic scene: surveillance showed at least 10 shots fired at the location. The chief said investigators believed Cooper may have been holding a loaded gun and that, while attempting to drive away from people firing at him, the weapon accidentally discharged as he accelerated or went over a speed bump, causing the fatal wound. Police arrested 22-year-old Aushon Carr on charges tied to firing at Cooper’s vehicle, including attempted first-degree assault and illegal discharge of a firearm; Carr told investigators he fired about six times in response after Cooper allegedly fired into the air and dared someone to shoot back.

Who has information about that night at P.T. Barnum or about the people present at the memorial?
