ANSONIA, Conn. — A man is dead after a fatal shooting in Ansonia on Friday afternoon.
Ansonia Police Lt. Patrick Lynch said multiple people called 911 reporting gunshots on Hodge Avenue at about 1:40 p.m. Officers found a male victim outside a home at 124 Hodge Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Griffin Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The victim has been identified as Abduljalil Humphrey, 30, of Ansonia.
During the initial investigation, two cars were identified as being involved in the incident and Ansonia police are trying to locate the cars.
The first car belonged to Humphrey and was stolen from the scene after the shooting. The stolen 2019 Hyundai Elantra has since been found, police said late Saturday morning.
Police are still looking for another stolen car. The second car is a 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Premier color red bearing Connecticut registration BD 24248. The suspect was driving the stolen Chevrolet just before the shooting and it was occupied by at least one other person who drove it away from the scene.
