On the evening of May 9, 2022, a dispute between neighbors in Bridgeport, Connecticut, ended with the death of 38-year-old Jose Alicea. The shooting occurred at about 8:30 p.m. on Washington Terrace. Alicea was inside his first-floor apartment with his wife and her two children when a single bullet came through a kitchen window and struck him in the chest. He was taken to Bridgeport Hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators focused on a former neighbor, 20-year-old Delvon Angel Rodriguez, after an earlier argument that day allegedly over Rodriguez believing Alicea had disrespected his girlfriend. Police say Rodriguez returned to Alicea’s home with a gun and fired through the window. Rodriguez reportedly admitted to the shooting but said his intent was to frighten, not to kill. Video from a nearby house placed him outside at the time.

Anyone who knew Jose Alicea or who has information about the events on Washington Terrace that night is asked to come forward.
