On the afternoon of December 5, 2016, 22-year-old Dontray D. Hammond was found on a basketball court behind 24 Victory Drive in New Haven, Connecticut, with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Emergency responders arrived at about 2:41 p.m.; Hammond was pronounced dead at the scene. He was originally from Brooklyn and had moved to New Haven with his mother about four years earlier. Friends called him Millie Tray and his girlfriend described him as funny and loving.

Investigators classified the death as a homicide and interviewed witnesses at the scene, but no suspect description was released immediately. In December 2017 the New Haven Police Department announced an arrest and criminal charge in the case, but the department did not publicly disclose the arrested individual’s identity or a motive. Does anyone have verifiable information about what happened that afternoon or about the later proceedings?
