Three people have died and one person was injured after two separate shootings in Hartford overnight.
Officers were called to Wethersfield Avenue around 12:30 a.m. after receiving a ShotSpotter activation.
At the scene, police said they found an unresponsive man in his 20s with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene. He has been identified as Jordan Phipps, 24, of Bloomfield.
While officers investigated, authorities said a second man with multiple gunshot wounds arrived at an area hospital in a private vehicle. His injuries are not life-threatening.
Investigators are following very active leads and have found videos to aid in the investigation.
Shortly before 2 a.m., officers were called to Sterling Street after receiving another ShotSpotter activation.
On Sterling Street, officers said they found two people with gunshot wounds on the porch area of the building. One person was pronounced dead at the scene.
The second person who was found was taken to St. Francis Hospital. This person was later pronounced dead.
According to police, the two people who died in the Sterling Street shooting were identified as William Tisdol, 23, of Hartford, and Hakeem Dickson, 27, of Hartford.
In the Sterling Street shooting, authorities said it appears there were three shooters and that it was an ambush-style shooting. It is believed to have been a highly targeted attack.
At this point, it doesn’t appear the shootings are related. Both shootings are described by police as complicated with a lot of evidence and investigations are active and ongoing.
