Brent D. Bennett was shot and killed on the evening of March 4, 2016, in New Haven, Connecticut. The 25-year-old Black man from West Haven was a passenger in a white Honda when a frantic 911 call at about 9:05 p.m. reported he had been shot. Officers found him parked on State Street between Eld and Bradley Streets with a severe chest wound; he was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital and pronounced dead shortly before 11 p.m.

Investigators established that the vehicle’s parking spot was not the scene of the shooting. Their probe led them six blocks away to an apartment at 50 Walnut Street, which is believed to be where Bennett was fatally wounded. Detectives processed that apartment and collected evidence while pursuing leads.

No arrests have been announced and the identity of any suspect or suspects remains unknown. If anyone has information about Bennett, his movements that night, or the apartment at 50 Walnut Street, please come forward.
