On the morning of July 6, 2014, 23-year-old Abraham Davidson was fatally shot on Barnum Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Friends and family recalled him on a porch, laughing and smoking a cigarette shortly before the shooting, which occurred shortly after 2:00 a.m. He was taken to Bridgeport Hospital, where he died. A memorial was later placed at the scene and neighbors gathered to mourn.

Davidson, a lifelong Bridgeport resident, had been released from prison about ten days earlier and had a prior conviction dating to 2011 for a 2009 shooting at a Trumbull movie theater. Police said he was very well-known to them and believed he was the intended target. The shooting was one of two homicides on the city’s East Side within a 75-minute span.

Police reported having very good leads in the immediate aftermath, but there have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects and the case is not listed among solved homicides. If anyone knew Abraham or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
