On the night of September 21, 2016, gunfire on Dorman Street in Newhallville, New Haven, left 31-year-old Levern Bellamy with a fatal gunshot wound to his back. A family member found Bellamy in the backyard and paramedics transported him to Yale New Haven Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police initially had no suspect or description but believed the shooter may have known Bellamy was outside that night.

Investigators later focused on a neighbor, 42-year-old Tyrone Spears, who was charged in December 2017 with murder and weapons offenses while already incarcerated on unrelated narcotics charges. At trial in May 2019 the jury acquitted Spears of murder and criminal possession of a firearm; the prosecution relied on circumstantial evidence, there were no eyewitnesses or forensic links, and the defense raised the possibility of other perpetrators. Is there anyone who remembers activity on Dorman Street that night or has information about Bellamy’s last known movements?
