On July 12, 2014, in Hartford’s Five Corners neighborhood near 20 Auburn Street, 28-year-old Tyshawn Crawford was shot during a fight that began as a verbal argument and escalated into a physical altercation involving several people. The shooting happened at about 4:55 a.m.; Crawford suffered two fatal gunshot wounds, to the neck and upper chest. He was taken to St. Francis Hospital and pronounced dead at 5:50 a.m.

Witness cooperation helped investigators early on, with residents describing the argument and ensuing fight, but many later became silent. Hartford Police Major Crimes Division pursued the investigation and identified a strong person of interest. On June 24, 2015, 29-year-old Chiffon Milner was arrested in Manchester, Connecticut, and charged with murder, criminal use of a firearm, and criminal possession of a firearm; bond was set at $2 million.

Tyshawn’s mother, Shiraleen Crawford, had been murdered in Hartford in 1997, a loss noted by the family. Does anyone have information about the altercation that led to Tyshawn’s shooting or about his movements that night?
