On the evening of December 18, 2015, 19-year-old Oscar Martin-Refugio was working the late shift at Grand Pizza on Main Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Born in Mexico, he had been in the United States for about six months and was saving money to send home to his mother with the hope of building her a house. The pizzeria was preparing to close with a back door left ajar when two people entered through that door shortly after 10:00 p.m. in an attempted robbery.

One of the assailants opened fire as the owner ran out the front to get help. Oscar was shot in the chest and died at the scene; a 41-year-old co-worker, Humberto Barrera, was critically wounded but survived. The suspects fled and did not take any money. Bridgeport police reviewed nearby surveillance footage, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains open. A small memorial appeared outside the shop and a collection was begun to help return Oscar’s body to his mother in Mexico.

Did anyone in the area see the two people enter through that back door or notice anything unusual that night?
