On the evening of May 10, 2002, a large brawl involving as many as 50 people broke out on Center Street in Hartford. Twenty-five-year-old Hispanic man Harry Baez stepped in to help a friend during the chaos. As he tried to intervene, someone riding a bicycle rode past and shot him in the head.

Police were called to 47 Center Street just before 9:00 p.m. and found Baez with gunshot wounds to his head and shoulder. He was taken to St. Francis Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Investigators obtained a description of the shooter early on, but the case went cold and the family received no immediate answers. Harry’s brother Benjamin was also killed by gun violence about a year later, compounding the family’s loss.

What information about that night or anyone who rode a bicycle through the area could help finally identify the shooter?
