On the evening of May 23, 2018, five gunshots were detected on Enfield Street in Hartford. Police responding just after 9 p.m. found 44-year-old Lydia Tirillo, a Hispanic woman, lying in the street with gunshot wounds to her torso and leg. She was taken to St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center but died of her injuries.

Investigators concluded the shooting was not random and that Tirillo had been specifically targeted; they also said the motive did not initially appear to be related to domestic violence and that Tirillo was known to law enforcement. Authorities reviewed nearby surveillance footage as they worked the case.

On November 1, 2018, Hartford police arrested 26-year-old Byron Perry, who was said to be acquainted with Tirillo; the shooting was believed to have followed a dispute between them. Perry was charged with murder and carrying a pistol without a permit, with bond set at $1 million, and faced additional narcotics and interfering with police charges with a separate $25,000 bond.

Did anyone in Hartford know Lydia or see activity on Enfield Street that night?
