On the evening of March 25, 2013, gunfire erupted on Clark Street in Hartford. Kelly Karod Cooper, a 30-year-old Black man, was standing in the passenger doorway of a parked car when he was struck by a stray bullet while witnessing an attack aimed at another young man. Friends rushed Cooper to Saint Francis Hospital; he died of his head wound the next day, March 26, 2013.

The intended target was 19-year-old Kwante Tyshawn Feliciano, who was chased and shot by a man in a black hooded sweatshirt and later died of a chest wound after being taken to the hospital. Police described the shooter as a Hispanic male about 5 feet 6 inches tall and 180 pounds. Investigators say Feliciano’s killing appears linked to a dispute involving people from a neighborhood known as New Jack City, and witness cooperation has been limited.

Both murders remain unsolved and no arrests have been announced. If anyone has information about what happened on Clark Street that evening, please come forward.
