On 3/31/18 at approximately
2324 hours, Patrol Officers were dispatched to 31-33 Eaton
Street in response to a ShotSpotter activation. Upon arrival,
officers located six 9mm cartridge casings and one live 9mm
round in the road. Private surveillance cameras were located
and it was determined that they had captured the incident.
Detectives were assigned the investigation. Upon viewing the
video footage, Detectives observed the suspect yell, "We
out here," rack the slide of a pistol, and fire several
rounds into the air. The suspect is observed entering a
vehicle and leaves the area. After obtaining the registration
plate from the vehicle, it was determined that the owner,
Jorge Rodriguez, has a valid CT Firearms Permit. Through his
investigation, it was determined that Rodriguez was
intoxicated on the night of the shots fired and had been
involved in an argument with a female. Rodriguez was
positively identified as the shooter. Detectives applied for
an arrest warrant and it was granted. On October 11, 2018,
Rodriguez turned himself into the Hartford Police Department
voluntarily.
