It's been a violent 24 hours in Bridgeport, where police are investigating three separate shooting incidents, one of which killed a 26-year-old man.
The most recent shooting happened around 1:15 this afternoon when a man was shot in the chest on the 100 block of Wood Avenue, according to police.
The victim, 21-year-old Kevin Boyd, was treated at St. Vincent's Medical Center. His condition is unknown, but police said he was able to speak with investigators at the hospital.
Hours earlier, around 3:30 a.m., 23-year-old Sean Lawrence was shot in the leg at Reservoir and City View avenues. He was found half an hour later in Trumbull, and was also treated at St. Vincent's, according to police.
Lawrence told investigators that he was a good friend of Christopher Pettway, the 26-year-old who was killed yesterday in the first of the three shootings. Four others were injured by the gunfire.
It happened just three blocks from where Lawrence was shot.
Police haven't said whether they think the shootings are connected. This afternoon, they arrested Jalil Hill, 28, after receiving a tip that he wanted to avenge Pettway's death.
If you have information about any of the three shootings, contact Bridgeport police.
