Bridgeport Police Search for Shooters

Police are searching for the men who shot a teen during a confrontation in Bridgeport over the weekend.

Surveillance footage shows the three men approaching the 16-year-old victim outside a store near the intersection of Stratford and Newfield avenues around 9:45 p.m. Nov. 3.

One fires a gun and the three people run from the scene. Police said the victim suffered non-life threatening injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.

Investigators are working to identify the shooters, who appear to be wearing dark-colored sweatshirts with the hoods pulled over their heads.

“People know the identities of these individuals, and we are asking for the community’s help,” Capt. Armando Perez, head of the Bridgeport police detective division, said in a statement on Thursday. “We’re asking people to look closely at the suspects’ clothing, their sneakers, their stature, how the walk. We are confident that someone would recognize them and we ask for them to contact investigators.”

Anyone with information is urged to call Bridgeport police Det. Kenneth McKenna at 203-581-5245 or Det. Art Calvao at 203-581-5240.
