Bridgeport Police Seek Suspect in August Murder

Bridgeport police are searching for the teen accused of fatally shooting a 21-year-old man at Park Avenue and Olive Street last month.

Seventeen-year-old Fabian Francis is accused of shooting and killing Ryan Hernandez in a fight on Aug. 10.

Police said surveillance footage shows a confrontation between the two that turned deadly. According to police, Francis and another teen drove up to the scene and Hernandez approached their car.

Francis got out of the car and fatally shot Hernandez during an altercation between the two, according to police.

The 16-year-old driver was charged last month with conspiracy to commit murder for his alleged involvement in the crime.

Police are looking for Francis and have an active warrant charging him with murder.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to call 911 and contact Bridgeport police Det. Robert Winkler at 203-581-5224.
