Norwich have identified two suspects wanted in a deadly shooting at the Mai Thai restaurant and bar.

Donna Richardson, 45, of New London, was shot and killed around 1:50 a.m. June 24. Police responded to a shooting the Mai Thai as the bar was closing. Richardson and another woman were transported to Backus Hospital. Richardson died of her wounds. The other victim was treated and released.

Police Friday identified David Grant, 32, and 24-year-old Devan Jarmon as the shooting suspects.

Grant is wanted on charges of Murder, first-degree assault, first-degree reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a pistol, according to police. Jarmon is wanted on charges of carrying a pistol without a permit, unlawful discharge of a firearm, first-degree reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a pistol.

Police believe Grant is hiding with family members in Brooklyn, New York. Jarmon is believed to still be in the Norwich area, police said.

According to investigators, the shooting began after an argument erupted at the bar. Police believe Richardson was not the intended target.

"She was in the wrong place at the wrong time," said Steven Roderick, Richardson's boyfriend.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of either suspect is asked to call Norwich police at 860-866-5561 or call the anonymous tip line at 860-886-5561 ext. 500.
