A disturbance on Washington Street in Waterbury, Connecticut, during the early morning hours of June 4, 2024, ended with gunfire that killed Roberto Manuel Baez Jr., a 30-year-old Hispanic man. After the shooting, Baez was taken by private vehicle to Saint Mary’s Hospital; he was later pronounced dead, and the case was treated as a homicide. Police found evidence of the shooting outside a residence on the 60 block of Washington Street and were dispatched after reports of gunfire at about 12:16 a.m.

The Waterbury Police Detective Bureau pursued the investigation for months and identified a suspect. In December, authorities announced an arrest warrant for 25-year-old Angel Rodriguez on charges including murder, illegal discharge of a firearm, criminal use of a weapon, carrying a pistol without a permit, and first-degree reckless endangerment. The search for Rodriguez is ongoing and police are asking anyone with information to come forward.
