HARTFORD, Conn. — Editor's note: the video above air before the suspect was arrested in connection with the murder of the victim.
Two people are in custody after a pursuit in Hartford ended at the busy intersection of Sigourney Street and Farmington Avenue.
Police said it was connected with the overnight homicide on Bedford Street and Albany Avenue. The two suspects were charged for the two firearms found in the car.
It started shortly before 2 a.m. when Hartford Police received a shot spotter activation in the area of Bedford Street and Albany Avenue. Officers found a man in his 20s shot in the foot running south on Bedford Street who was later treated.
While canvassing the neighborhood, officers then found a man in his thirties dead in a nearby parking lot. Police believed he was not the intended target of the shooting.
The man was later identified by police as Siddhartha Lake-Sudan, 37, of East Hartford.
"We're doing everything we can in a year where violence is up this much. So are our arrests, so are our gun arrests. I can't remember a year where we've had this many gun arrests - we've had over 110 people arrested for firearm possession. That's a big year for arrests," said Lt. Aaron Boisvert with Hartford Police Department.
Before noon, police said a suspected vehicle was caught on a C-4 camera. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver kept going leading to a brief chase in which the vehicle ended up rolling over, hit another car, and left debris all over the road.
The crash resulted in police closing all corners of the intersection.
"There was a pursuit, and it went through the intersection, and it hit a vehicle that was traveling north so the suspect vehicle traveling south made contact with a vehicle facing north and proceeded to roll over," added Lt. Boisvert.
One suspect refused to be transported and the other was transported for evaluation.
During the investigation, police charged the driver of the car in connection with the shooting death. Chan Williams-Bey Jr.,25 of Hartford, was charged with murder, assault in the first degree, and carrying a pistol without a permit.
The mother of one of the suspects was upset at how the police handled this.
"They think because they got on blue suits, they can do whatever they want to do - it's still laws for everybody. Sick of these police," said Stacey Lewis, mother of one of the suspects.
Family members later showed up in numbers and initiated a confrontation with officers at the scene.
"One thing I know about my son - he was a good driver. What did you all do to make him crash? And then you're talking about he hit that car, but that car got a bullet hole in the window - were you all shooting at him?" added Lewis.
Williams-Bey is being held on a $1.75 million dollar bond. Police say the other person in the car is not facing any charges as of Wednesday.
