Hartford police are investigating after a man was shot dead on Monday night.
At around 7:06 p.m., Hartford Police patrol officers responded to the area of Granby Street and Tower Avenue on a ShotSpotter activation.
When police arrived, they located Angel Martinez, 33, suffering from gunshot wounds.
Police said they believe the victim was shot while driving and continued driving while crashing into a pole and other things until ultimately crashing into a car.
The man pronounced dead by on-scene medical personnel.
Police don’t have a lead on who the suspect is or what kind of car they were driving.
"We’re out here canvassing right now for evidence for any kind of digital evidence, cameras. We’re really asking, this is a heavily populated neighborhood so if anybody has a ring camera, maybe saw or witnessed the car please reached out to us,” said Sergeant Mastroianni.
Police said this appears to be a targeted shooting that led to the 28th homicide of the year.
A crime scene has been established in the area of Lyme Street as well.
The Hartford Police Major Crimes and Crime Scene Divisions responded and have assumed the investigation.
