On the evening of Tuesday, February 6, 2007, Deanna Long Pugh, 45, was shot and killed in Hartford, Connecticut. She had just returned from visiting one of her eleven grandchildren and was parked at the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Zion Street outside a grocery store. Her 22-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old granddaughter were waiting in the car while Deanna stepped out to smoke.

A dark-colored Honda, believed to be a 1990–2000 model, approached the parked vehicle and a single gunshot was fired from the car, striking Deanna in the chest. Witnesses and family members placed her back in the car and began driving to the hospital; an ambulance met them but Deanna was pronounced dead on arrival at Hartford Hospital. Investigators had a person of interest early on but lacked sufficient evidence to make an arrest and the investigation has gone cold.

Deanna was a mother of four and was expecting a twelfth grandchild; family members described her as a radiant presence who shined on everyone she touched. Does anyone remember seeing a dark Honda in that neighborhood on February 6, 2007, or have information that could help her family?
