Andrew Igidi, 74, was fatally shot outside a package store on Albany Avenue in Hartford’s North End on the evening of May 30, 2011. He was hit by three bullets to the chest at about 10:30 p.m. while going to a corner store near his home. A native of Nigeria and a father of five, Igidi worked as a shuttle bus driver and had been planning to retire and rejoin his family.

Police first treated the killing as a likely case of mistaken identity in a drive-by shooting. Investigators later followed a tip that linked 18-year-old Charles Wilson of Hartford to this slaying and to an earlier May 22 fatal shooting of a convenience store clerk in Manchester. Wilson was arrested on loitering charges on June 14, 2011; while in custody he allegedly confessed to both killings and was served with charges, including felony murder, and held on combined bond totaling $4.25 million.

Igidi’s brother publicly expressed the family’s shock and desire for answers. Does anyone have information about Andrew’s last evening or the area around Albany Avenue that could help clarify what happened?
