Chaz Rogers, 37, was found behind an apartment building on Stratford Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut, around 3 a.m. on July 1, 2017, suffering several gunshot wounds, including at least one to the head. He was taken to Bridgeport Hospital and pronounced dead less than two hours later; the death was recorded as Bridgeport’s 14th homicide of 2017. Family and friends remembered him as gentle and caring, and a funeral was held at Mount Aery Baptist Church the following week.

Police quickly identified a prime suspect, 38-year-old Jayvell Washington, and indicated an intention to charge him in Rogers’ killing. Tensions escalated in the weeks after the homicide: on July 23, 2017, Rogers’ brother Eugene was shot and wounded on Trumbull Avenue; Washington was identified in that attack and arrested on attempted murder charges. The violence appeared tied to a broader dispute involving guns and drugs, and authorities said two other individuals were believed to have been involved in Chaz Rogers’ slaying.

Does anyone have information about Chaz Rogers, the July 1, 2017 shooting, or the people involved?
