Jerome Mack Jr. was 33 when he was fatally shot inside an East Hartford apartment on March 25, 2016. Police responded to reports of shots fired at a Smith Drive residence around 6:15 p.m.; officers found Mack with a gunshot wound to his chest and he was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

Investigators identified James Burrill as a suspect and an arrest warrant named him armed and dangerous. Burrill was found and arrested in Syracuse, New York, on August 23, 2016, and extradition to Connecticut followed. Initially charged with murder, Burrill later pleaded guilty in October 2017 to manslaughter, saying the gun discharged during a physical struggle after Mack allegedly pulled a weapon. There were no witnesses to the shooting.

Does anyone have information about Mack’s movements that evening or about the Smith Drive apartment that could help clarify what happened?
