HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — One man has been killed and two others injured in a shooting outside a Hartford nightclub.
The shooting happened in the parking lot of Vibz Uptown at around 1:45 a.m. Sunday as the club was closing.
Police say 28-year-old Hartford resident Jakari Lewis died shortly after arriving at the hospital.
The Hartford Courant reports Lewis was recently released from prison. He’d been charged with manslaughter in the 2012 death of his best friend after the two fled from police after a shooting.
Sunday’s two other victims, a 29-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman, were also taken to the hospital, but police have not disclosed their conditions or identities.
Police ask anyone with information about the shooting call their anonymous tip line. The incident is the city’s second homicide of 2019.
