HARTFORD, Conn. — Hartford police have identified the victim of a homicide that occurred Monday morning.
Police said emergency crews responded to an apartment in the building on Evergreen Avenue just before 2:30 am Monday morning on a report of someone needed medical attention.
Officials said Allison McCoy, 21, was shot and killed
Another woman in the home called 9-1-1 and was taken to the hospital where she was in critical condition Monday morning.
Police say this was clearly targeted and they believe both women were in the same bed sleeping when this attack happened.
Police say the front door of the building was open when fire arrived on scene, but they don’t know whether it was locked before that.
They’re also still investigating whether the door into the apartment was locked or not.
Lt. Aaron Boisvert, Hartford PD said, “There are cameras in the building. If you go around the back, there are what appear to be like access, like a card access to get in so this is a secure building. At this point in the investigation, looking at this as a possible domestic, unknown at this point but that’s what we’re looking at.”
This is a the third homicide in the city in 2022. On Sunday, a man was found with a gunshot wound that turned out to be fatal after the car he was driving crashed on Bellevue Street.
