On the afternoon of Monday, April 20, 2015, 29-year-old Lyndell Moore was shot multiple times while sitting in his car on Townsend Street in New Haven, Connecticut. The shooting occurred just before 1:30 p.m.; wounded, Moore attempted to drive away, turned onto Charles Street and lost control, crashing into a parked car at the intersection of Orchard Place and Charles Street. Bystanders initially thought the crash was a medical emergency until responders found gunshot wounds. Moore was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital and died a few hours later.

Witnesses described seeing one to three men in gray hooded sweatshirts running toward Henry Street after the shooting. Police closed Townsend Street to search for evidence and said they lacked information about the shooter or shooters. An arrest was made at the scene later that day, but investigators said that arrest was unrelated to the homicide. Moore was a father of three girls and worked in construction; his family had previously suffered a homicide when his mother was murdered in 1998.

Anyone who saw the shooting, the men described fleeing the scene, or Moore’s vehicle between Townsend and Charles streets on April 20, 2015 is asked to share information with New Haven police.
