On the evening of August 18, 2016, 40-year-old Joseph Jiles was found lying on the sidewalk near Main Street and Cleveland Avenue in Hartford after police were called about gunfire at about 8:22 p.m. He had suffered gunshot wounds to his arm and upper chest and was taken to Hartford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. His death was the city’s 12th homicide of 2016.

Investigators say Jiles had a physical confrontation with a 49-year-old man identified as Jonathan Willis in a parking lot at 3155 Main Street shortly before the shooting. The two men reportedly met again a few minutes later in front of 10 Cleveland Avenue, where Willis allegedly shot Jiles. An arrest warrant was issued for Jonathan Willis; he turned himself in on March 6, 2017, and was charged with murder, criminal use of a firearm, and criminal possession of a firearm, held on $1 million bond.
