Three people were hospitalized after three separate over three separate days this past weekend.
Here are details, according to releases from police spokesperson Officer Scott Shumway:
A 45-year-old New Haven man was shot Sunday at 3:21 a.m. on Ella T. Grasso Boulevard between Printers and Longhini Lane. Someone drove the victim to the hospital, where he was listed in “critical but stable condition.”
A 22-year-old New Haven man was shot on Chatham Street between Atwater Street and Clinton Avenue Saturday just before 7 p.m. He, too, was listed in the hospital in critical but stable condition.”
A 35-year-old man was shot Friday around 2 p.m. on Chapel Street between the Boulevard and Yale Avenue. Someone drove the victim to the Saint Raphael Campus of Yale New Haven Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition — “with life-threatening injuries” from four separate gunshot wounds top Westville cop Lt. Elliot Rosa reported in a subsequent email to neighbors. He stated that the shooting appears “to be a targeted incident” with “no immediate threat to the public.” The victim had been dropped off at the hospital by someone driving a silver BMW, which police later found “unoccupied and parked” on Frank Street.
Mayor Justin Elicker declared in late December that the NHPD made progress on gun violence and was“able to bend the curve downwards and save lives” in 2021 because the number of reported shootings dropped from 121 to 110 from the year before (compared to 78 in 2019 and 50 in 2018). The number of homicides rose from 20 to 25 in 2021; police made arrests in three of the 25 homicides. (Click here for a story comparing that solve rate to that of peer Connecticut departments.)
