Ryan Hernandez, 21, was fatally shot in broad daylight on Sunday, August 10, 2014, near Park Avenue and Olive Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut. According to reports, a confrontation escalated when a dark-colored sedan pulled up, a male passenger with a black shirt over his head exited, pistol-whipped Hernandez and shot him once in the chest. He was taken to St. Vincent’s Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Surveillance footage from a nearby store captured the encounter and, combined with community cooperation, led investigators to two teenage suspects. A 16-year-old male was arrested and charged as the getaway driver with conspiracy to commit murder; his name was not released because he is a juvenile. The alleged gunman was identified as 17-year-old Fabian Fab Francis, who surrendered weeks later and was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder and carrying a pistol without a permit.

Anyone who witnessed the shooting or who knew Hernandez and his movements that day is asked to come forward with information.
