On March 19, 2016, in Hartford’s north end, 28-year-old Jeffery Vail was shot while seated in a car on Martin Street with 33-year-old William Ward. The shooting happened at about 2 a.m.; the city’s ShotSpotter system alerted police and officers found both men critically wounded inside the vehicle. Both were taken to Saint Francis Hospital and were pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Vail sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso.

Hartford detectives from the Major Crimes Division established a crime scene and pursued several leads, but an initial search did not locate a suspect. The investigation into the double homicide remains ongoing.

Did anyone in Hartford’s north end see or hear anything on Martin Street that pre-dawn Saturday that could help investigators?
