On the night of May 2, 2017, 22-year-old Kyree Kennedy was found unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a silver car stopped in the middle of Read Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Police responded to reports of gunfire at about 11:30 p.m. and discovered Kennedy suffering from gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers saw several people running from the area, though it was not immediately clear whether they were connected to the shooting.

Investigators later determined Kennedy was not the intended target. He had driven to Read Street with a friend, 22-year-old Terrell Evans of Stratford, to shoot at a car belonging to someone with whom Kennedy had an ongoing dispute. According to the investigation, Evans fired from the front passenger seat, shooting across Kennedy and out the driver’s side window; as Kennedy turned his head, a bullet struck the back of his head.

Evans was arrested on June 9, 2017, and charged with first-degree manslaughter and weapons offenses. The case drew visible emotion from both families at later court proceedings. If anyone knew Kyree, his movements that night, or has information about the incident, please share what you know.
