Jason Marchand, 38, was shot dead in his Andover, Connecticut, backyard on July 3, 2015. According to accounts, an argument earlier that evening had involved Marchand and a man on a motorcycle after Marchand complained the bike was kicking up gravel where children were playing with fireworks. The motorcyclist left but returned later while Marchand was at a bonfire with his young son and neighborhood children; the man approached the yard and fired, striking Marchand multiple times in the chest. Marchand was taken to Windham Hospital, where he died. The shooting occurred in front of his son.

State police described the shooter as wearing dark clothing, red riding gloves and a distinctive helmet, riding a small red-and-white dirt bike. Investigators later identified and arrested 21-year-old Michael R. Fortin; he was charged with murder, reckless endangerment, risk of injury to a minor and carrying a handgun without a permit. Fortin was acquitted of murder at trial but convicted of first-degree manslaughter and of carrying a pistol without a permit, and was sentenced in June 2017.

Did anyone in Andover remember seeing a red-and-white dirt bike or someone matching that description around July 3, 2015?
