HARTFORD, Conn. — A Hartford man is facing charges in connection with a fatal shooting in January.
The shooting happened on January 11 in the Frog Hollow section of the city. Police were called to the Broad Street and Grand Street area just before 10 a.m. on a ShotSpotter activation.
When police arrived, they found 19-year-old Julius Rivera of Plainville. According to officials, Rivera had been shot and was rushed to a local hospital for treatment.
