On the evening of June 14, 2021, 39-year-old Shamar Swinton, a Black/African American man, was shot in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Calls about gunfire on the 800 block of State Street came in around 7:41 p.m.; shortly after, officers were notified of a car crash at State Street and Park Avenue. Responding officers found a black Honda Accord with Swinton behind the wheel, suffering multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to St. Vincent’s Medical Center and pronounced dead.

The Detective Bureau processed a large crime scene on State Street and opened a homicide investigation; the city ruled the death its seventh homicide of the year. Investigators have pursued several leads but no suspects or arrests have been publicly identified.

Does anyone have information about Shamar Swinton, his movements that evening, or the vehicles and people seen near State Street and Park Avenue?
