On the evening of August 12, 2014, in Hartford, Connecticut, 18-year-old Deon Palmer was playing basketball with friends on Sigourney Street when a confrontation with a passing car turned violent. A short time after the driver, 31-year-old Brandon Henry, left and then returned, gunfire erupted near 362 Sigourney Street. Palmer was found lying face down with gunshot wounds to his right thigh and chest and was taken to Saint Francis Hospital, where he died during the early hours of August 13, 2014.

Hartford police identified Henry as the suspect and an arrest warrant was issued for him on September 17, 2014. At that time he was already in custody on separate charges and was later charged in Palmer’s death with felony murder, first-degree reckless endangerment, and criminal possession of a firearm; bond was set at $2.5 million. Henry was also facing unrelated shooting charges from March 2014 on Hughes Street.

Does anyone who was in that area that night or who knew Deon or his friends have information that could help clarify what happened?
