Anthony Wortham, a 38-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in Hartford, Connecticut in the early morning hours of September 28, 2014. The shooting followed an altercation at the R and D Food Mart on Albany Avenue between Wortham and a man named Rory Taylor. Shortly after the argument, Taylor contacted his brother, Benjamin White, and at about 1:12 a.m. White arrived at the store armed, moved through a crowd, approached Wortham and shot him in the head at close range. The store’s surveillance cameras recorded the events.

Hartford police identified Benjamin White, then 28, as the primary suspect and arrested him on September 1, 2015. He was charged with murder, criminal possession of a firearm and criminal use of a firearm; bond was set at $1 million. In April 2018, just as White’s trial was about to begin, a key witness reportedly with White at the shooting refused to testify without immunity. Prosecutors said they could not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt without that witness and dropped the murder charge, while leaving open the possibility of refiling if new evidence emerged.

Does anyone have additional information about the altercation at the R and D Food Mart or the events that night?
