Mayor Justin Elicker said in a statement, Sunday morning about the non-fatal shootings on Button St. and Genesee St. as well as a fatal shooting on Springside Avenue:
“Cities across the nation are experiencing a rise in violent crime and homicides, and New Haven is no different. In collaboration with the Police Chief and across city departments we’re taking an all hands on deck approach to curbing violence in our city. Last week, Chief Dominguez, CSA Dr. Dalal, and I presented our coordinated approach to combating this national trend of increased violence. We have expanded the reach of the Shooting Task Force to include more neighboring communities and increased resources. Project Longevity and Project Safe neighborhood are working to keep returning citizens out of trouble. We’re expanding summer programing for young people and dedicating more funding for street outreach workers who specialize in violence interruption. We’re also engaging in a full court press to get services to those most in need, particularly our re-entry population—which is why we opened our re-entry center earlier this year.”
“Every life lost is a tragedy; I was at the scene this morning and I’m working day and night to keep our city safe.”
Further details are expected to be released by New Haven police.
