On July 31, 2012, 27-year-old Rubencito Reuben Gonzalez was shot and killed in New Haven, Connecticut after he and a coworker were robbed while sitting in Gonzalez’s car on Atwater Street. Three men approached; two displayed firearms and ordered the men out, then took money and a cell phone. As the robbers fled, one turned back and fired multiple shots at Gonzalez. He was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.

Police later identified two suspects, Ernest Harris and Emmit Scott; fingerprints from both were found on the exterior of Gonzalez’s car. A jury in September 2014 convicted Ernest Harris of felony murder, two counts of first-degree robbery, and conspiracy to commit robbery; Harris was sentenced in November 2014 to 47 years in prison. Emmit Scott went to a separate trial and was acquitted of murder and felony murder but convicted of two counts of first-degree armed robbery.

If anyone knew Gonzalez or witnessed the robbery on Atwater Street that night, please share what you remember.
