NEW HAVEN – An early morning shooting in New Haven put a man in the hospital.

Just after midnight, police responded to Winthrop Avenue and George Street for a report of a shooting.

Police said they found Michael Murphy, 27, shot once in the abdomen.

Eyewitnesses report Murphy had been confronted by a light-complexioned black man who, after an exchange of words, shot him. The shooter is believed to have gotten into a green mini-van that drove north on Winthrop Avenue toward Edgewood Avenue.

Murphy was taken to Yale–New Haven Hospital where he underwent surgery. He was alert and stable when he arrived at the hospital.

Police are asking for anyone who witnessed the crime or who has information that may be valuable to investigators, to phone them at 203-946-6304.
