Jose Torres, 33, was shot and killed while attending a cookout on Adams Street in Hartford on the evening of June 24, 2014. Police were called to 153 Adams Street around 9 p.m. after multiple 911 calls; Torres was taken to Saint Francis Hospital and pronounced dead. The city declared the slaying its seventh homicide of the year.

Hartford Police Department’s Major Crimes Division investigated. On September 24, 2014, investigators arrested 23-year-old Hartford resident Tayshawn Simms, also known as Kanye, and charged him with Torres’s murder; police noted Simms had prior charges.

Does anyone who attended that cookout or lived nearby have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
