On July 3, 2013, 23-year-old Brian Gibson, a Black man, was shot and killed on South Genesee Street in the McConaughy Terrace public housing complex in New Haven, Connecticut. The shooting occurred shortly before 12:30 p.m.; witnesses reported seeing a man chase Gibson and fire at him. Gibson was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where he died. Police cordoned off the area and searched the street and a nearby grassy field for evidence.

Detectives quickly focused on a suspect, 19-year-old Jahmal Fulcher from the area. Investigators believed the shooting stemmed from a disagreement, with some reports alleging it involved a stolen gun. Cell phone data placed Fulcher near the scene and eyewitnesses described seeing him chase Gibson with a handgun. Fulcher was arrested in November 2013 and later pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter with a firearm; in May 2016 he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Police also believed Gibson’s murder was connected to another fatal shooting later that same day that killed 19-year-old Errol Marshall.

Did anyone in New Haven at the time see events around McConaughy Terrace that could add details about that afternoon?
