In the early morning hours of February 18, 2017, 27-year-old Chace Hernandez was found unresponsive behind the wheel of his black Audi A4 at the intersection of Winchester and Auburn Streets in Hartford. He had been shot multiple times and was taken to St. Francis Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The shooting was recorded as Hartford’s sixth homicide of the year.

Hernandez, a Windsor High School graduate and father of two, was the focus of a Major Crime investigation that included interviews with witnesses and family members. An arrest warrant was issued for 26-year-old Anthony Austin of Windsor; police located and arrested Austin on April 20, 2017, in an East Hartford apartment. He was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, first-degree robbery, conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery, and criminal possession of a firearm, with bond set at one million dollars.

The shooting was said to have been connected to a marijuana robbery. Does anyone have information about Hernandez’s movements that night or about the robbery motive?
