Vincent Basile was 16 when he was fatally shot at a friend’s home on Alison Lane in Wethersfield, Connecticut. The shooting occurred on November 2, 2017; police responding to a 911 call around 8:17 p.m. found Vincent dead from a gunshot wound. A caller said the shooter fled in a vehicle, and officers later located that vehicle on Ridge Road and arrested 18-year-old Noah Hendron within an hour.

Police say Hendron tried to conceal the weapon by throwing a .38-caliber revolver into a storm drain. Prosecutors said Hendron repeatedly loaded and unloaded the gun and pointed it at Vincent despite being asked to stop; the defense argued the shooting was accidental and pointed to a witness who told a dispatcher and investigators it was unintentional.

In November 2019 a jury acquitted Hendron of murder but convicted him of first-degree manslaughter with a firearm; in January 2020 he was sentenced to 20 years. Vincent was remembered as a brilliant, out-of-the-box thinker who was loved by those who knew him. Does anyone have memories of Vincent or information about that evening that could shed light on what happened?
