Torrence Gamble was a 16-year-old student at Riverside Academy when he was shot and killed in New Haven on the night of April 3, 2014. Police found him at about 9:40 p.m. in front of 78 Daggett Street with a single gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital for emergency surgery but died the next morning, pronounced dead at 3:15 a.m.

Investigators later concluded the killing was gang-related. Court filings and testimony described Gamble and two of the suspects, Ricky Bunn and Otis Burton, as members of the PIRU street gang and said Gamble had been labeled a snitch. In July 2015 New Haven police arrested three people in the case: 17-year-old Ricky Bunn, charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and carrying a pistol without a permit; 18-year-old Otis Burton, charged with conspiracy to commit murder; and 22-year-old John Helwig of Milford, charged with conspiracy to commit murder and criminal liability for the acts of another. Helwig, not a gang member, admitted driving the others that night and later cooperated with prosecutors.

Does anyone have information about Gamble’s last known movements that night or about activity around Daggett Street on April 3, 2014?
