HARTFORD, Conn — An East Hartford man is dead after a targeted Wednesday night in Hartford, police said.
It's the third shooting in the area within the past month.
Police said surveillance video in the area of Barbour Street and Kensington Street shows 46-year-old Terrawne Nickson walking down the street around 10 p.m.
While Nickson was walking on Barbour Street, three men were waiting for him to pass.
As he neared them, the three men reportedly pulled out guns and began shooting at Nickson.
According to police, Nickson also pulled out a gun and tried to shoot at the suspects, but none appeared to have been struck.
Hartford police are searching for the people who shot and killed a man last night.
When Hartford officers got to the scene, they found Nickson lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, and later pronounced dead from his injuries.
This is the third shooting in the area in the last month that police are investigating.
On July 18, a man died, and another man was hurt in a drive-by shooting outside of a restaurant. Police have not announced any arrests in that investigation.
On July 31, another man was shot on the same block and survived.
Police said it's too early in the investigation to determine whether or not the shootings are connected.
Police ask anyone with information regarding the shootings to call the Hartford Police Department tip line at 860-722-TIPS (8477).
