On April 24th, 2015 at approximately 4:58pm, the Hartford
Police Department received a 911 reporting that a person was shot in the
driveway of 131 Hebron Street. On arrival, the victim was identified as
Lascelles Reid, 31, of Simsbury, CT. Reid was found lying on the ground,
suffering from a single gunshot wound to the torso. Reid, alert and conscious,
was transported to Saint Francis Hospital via AMR ambulance. Responding HPD
Patrol Officers also met with Donald Brown, 54 of Hartford, CT. Brown was on
scene and cooperative when police arrived. Brown said he shot Reid with his 9mm
firearm one time because he was in fear of Reid. The 9mm firearm used in this
incident was secured by officers as well as a single 9mm shell casing.
Detectives from the Hartford Police Department Major Crimes Division responded
and assumed the investigation. The scene was processed by the HPD Crime Scene
Division.
As of this date, Reid has not fully recovered and continues
to require medical attention.
On May 14, 2015 Hartford Police Major Crimes Division
Detectives applied for and obtained an arrest warrant for Donald Brown, for the
charge of Assault in the First Degree, 53a-59(a)(5). Judge set bail was
$150,000. Donald Brown turned himself into HPD without incident.
Donald Brown, formerly a 25 year veteran of the Hartford Fire
Department, retired on May 1st and is no longer an employee of the City of
Hartford. (Brown was off duty at the time of this incident)
Oh yeah, Donald Brown "retired" instead of getting "fired". Donald Brown who enjoyed workers comp for a long time, was in a lot of pain to show up at the FD, but had no pain working, improving and renovating his rental propertiimes. Poor Donald.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Donald on your retirement!
ReplyDeleteOn the job for 25 years, 15 actually on the line, and 10 spent on A injury. I heard the High Street " Fish Bowl" is being re-named after you, since you spent the most time there.
Your only mistake was having to retire before you had your chance to go out on a disability.
should have been arrested several weeks ago, on 4/24 to be exact
ReplyDeleteStack is locked and loaded for a showdown. You cant touch eap or a handicapping disorder. He is addicted to abusing sick time and drinking. He will get away with the same crap ruthie, tracey , and the torch ( rimundi) did in the past here. Its not a color thing either.( that augistino character is still employed) Crabtree is livin large smith & wesson as a sales rep with his full hpd pension. All examples of lack of documentation and abuse of eap/ personnel doctor relations. The court system is also a joke. Gail Hardy could care less.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to dudley, i give the same advice as i did to kessler, stay low and quiet for a couple of years until the next hpd american idol zero to screw up ....
I smell a big fat NOLLE coming out of this one.
ReplyDeleteKevin, please change the title to ...... Donald Brown FINALLY arrested.
ReplyDeleteIf Any relative of mine is ever arrested by Kessler I'll tell them to fight it in court I don't care if it's an infraction ticket that Racist POS does not belong in the city of Hartford shame on you Rovella!!!!
ReplyDeleteDudley will be fine if the ps kept Moldanaldo an Contreras who are both nut jobs they better leave Dudley alone the NAACP is watching this one closely tread carefully
ReplyDeleteis anyone going to investigate Donald happy days collecting workers comp
ReplyDeleteDudley will follow the same path will smith and rashim campbell did. Guys with chips on their shoulders usually do it to themselves. Just give it time
ReplyDeleteReally ?? Naacp? Really. I love how cowards use color as a defense for their screwing up . What was the rush dudley, west hartford police following a suspected stolen vehicle . Was it worth taking someone elses life because of your inability to follow simple dept rules and regulations ??????? Any other dept would have canned you immediately but rovella did you a favor. Instead of improving yourself, you decide to bitch and curse the dept from booking. Well you know what, per city hall it will rain dollar bills before you ever operate a city vehicle for a long time. So work your pjs and get ready for the civil trial.
ReplyDeleteKevin, how's that Hartford residents only apply for the fire dept working for you??? How ironic is it that this week the city announced a "new" initiative to hire their "own" instead of "outsiders". Isn't it already in place??? Most of Hfd's worst employees are born and raised here. This bird is from Hartford and on the democratic town committee! So sorry to repeat myself ,but how's it working out for you kev???
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 4:51 you a racist prick your statement alone speaks volumes so let me guess people who grow up in Hartford aren't qualified to work in Hartford according to your logic well we don't want nazis like you in our city
ReplyDeleteMayor Pedro will win again you know why? Because Puerto Ricans vote an they stick together something Black people should learn to do an I'm Black so all these new candidates don't hold your breadth your just going through the motions
ReplyDeleteWhile I accept the concept of hiring 'Hartford' residents over those who are not, it assumes the candidate is qualified in all respects and has at least equal qualifications of 'non' Hartford residents. Hiring an individuals of lesser qualifications because they are a Hartord resident is a STUPID concept and leads to a degridation or the standards. Why this simple concept is beyont the our 'Leadership's' comprehension is beyond me!
ReplyDeleteThe concept is beyond them because if they followed it their less than stellar family members would not get on
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that Brown was never arrested for promoting dog fighting. What a model citizen and proud representative of the Phoenix Society.
ReplyDeleteBlackcloud: Where was Brown promoting dog fights?
ReplyDeleteIs it a coincidence and/or ironic that the"resident only" requirement pertains to only 2 entities that are the most incompetent,dysfunctional,costly ,embarrassing,dangerous and unfortunately deadly to the city of Hartford,,,,the fire department and public works. Kevin,please tell me your position had swayed, at least "a little bit" !!!
ReplyDeleteI believe there should be some priority for residents at all City Dep, but should not be an excuse to hire incompetent individuals; and that is the case. The City workforce is full of incompetent, inept people with very low skills and poor costumer service abilities.I have news, it is not going to change either. It is supported by all the clowns in the city council, the corrupt mayor and all the unions.

ReplyDeleteDonald Brown is a fine example of how residency works for the City of Hartford. Maybe if he was on Moree's crew we wouldn't have had a tragedy. Neither would have been in the fire.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't renting to a relative who is on section 8.....Welfare fraud? just curious.
