On the evening of December 3, 2021, a burst of gunfire in Bridgeport, Connecticut left 37-year-old Jalen Parilla with a fatal gunshot wound. The shooting occurred around 9:20 p.m. near West Avenue and West Liberty Street. Parilla, a Stratford resident, was found by police and taken to St. Vincent’s Medical Center, where he died a short time later.

Investigators quickly focused on Miguel Rojas, then 28 and from Bridgeport, after witnesses identified him at the scene. Police say Rojas had been stalking both Parilla and Parilla’s partner, who was Rojas’s former girlfriend; officers also discovered an Apple AirTag that Rojas had allegedly attached to Parilla’s vehicle to track his movements. Rojas surrendered to police on December 6, 2021, and was arrested and charged in connection with the killing.
