Kristjan Ndoj was a 15-year-old sophomore at Shelton High School when he was shot on the evening of March 15, 2014, in the Pine Rock section of Shelton, Connecticut. He had ridden his bicycle to a friend’s house on Agawam Trail and, shortly before 9 p.m., was struck by gunfire from a nearby wooded area while standing in the driveway. Kristjan was taken to Bridgeport Hospital and died of his injuries on March 20, 2014; his death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators from the Shelton Police and the Connecticut State Police Major Crime Squad pursued multiple leads, including alleged social media threats and a reported dispute over a teenage girl, but no definitive motive or suspects were ever identified. Rumors within the local Albanian community that the shooting was connected to a debt were not substantiated by law enforcement. A $50,000 state reward was announced for information leading to an arrest and conviction, but the case has since gone cold.

Did anyone in the Shelton area know Kristjan or see anyone near Agawam Trail that night who hasn’t spoken to police?
