In the predawn hours of October 2, 2021, 29-year-old Jonathan Dasilva was shot in Bridgeport, Connecticut, outside the VIP Lounge on Pembroke Street. Police responded around 4:15 a.m. after ShotSpotter alerts and multiple 911 calls. Surveillance footage shows Dasilva walking on Arctic Street, getting into an altercation and punching another man. An arm extended from the passenger side of a parked Mercedes and multiple shots were fired; Dasilva collapsed after being struck in the head and died after being taken to Bridgeport Hospital in a private vehicle.

Investigators identified two people connected to the shooting. On October 21, 2021, 27-year-old Robert Sorrells was arrested and charged with murder and weapons offenses. On October 25, 2021, 28-year-old Kadeem Frazer was arrested as the alleged driver; the Mercedes was reported stolen shortly after the shooting and later recovered burned in Woodbridge, an apparent attempt to destroy evidence. Frazer was charged with accessory to murder and second-degree arson.

Dasilva’s mother said he was pursuing a music career to build a better future for his family. Did anyone in the Bridgeport area see Dasilva that morning or notice the Mercedes parked nearby?
