Overview

  • Two homicides were confirmed: 20-year-old Isaiah Molina was fatally shot late Saturday at the People's Ballroom, and a man died after a Sunday night shooting on Brook Street where a second victim had non-life-threatening injuries.
  • Police reported additional gunshot victims on Sunday afternoon when two men arrived separately at local hospitals around 3:30 p.m. and 5 p.m., both with injuries not considered life-threatening.
  • A person shot around 1 a.m. Sunday on Franklin Avenue was initially listed in critical condition and was later upgraded to stable, according to subsequent local reporting.
  • Investigators have not located the scenes for some of the hospital walk-in cases and have not determined whether the incidents are connected.
  • Counts differ across outlets, with WTNH citing five shootings over the weekend and the Hartford Courant detailing three on Sunday, as the Major Crimes Division continues its active investigation and requests public tips.
