Ricardo Ricky Rivera was 19 when he was shot in Hartford, Connecticut, on the night of October 21, 2015. Police were called to 7 Cherry Street at about 10:15 p.m. after reports of gunfire. Officers found Rivera unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head; another man at the scene had been shot in the torso. Rivera was taken to a nearby hospital, placed on life support, and died the next day, October 22, 2015, surrounded by family. He was a father to a young son and his death was counted as Hartford’s 28th homicide of the year.

Investigators have called the case difficult because of limited evidence and uncooperative witnesses. If anyone knew Rivera, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help, please come forward.
