Teen killed in shooting near Yale campus in New Haven
An 18-year-old man was killed and a 23-year-old man injured in a hail of shots early Monday morning near the Yale campus in downtown New Haven, Connecticut, the authorities announced.
Dillon Cornelius was identified a few hours later as the deceased victim, the New Haven police announced in an article on social networks. The injured person was not publicly identified.
No suspect was arrested or appointed during the shooting. The cops said that many shots had been fired around 3 a.m. on College St., between Crown St. and Chapel St. Several companies and vehicles were damaged by the gunshots, but that two people were struck.
The cops were in service at the bar near the stage, which is less than a mile south of the Yale main campus, said police from New Haven. They ran to the shot after hearing gunshots and arrived to find Cornelius suffering from several ball wounds.
Cornelius was transported to Yale New Haven hospital, where he was declared dead. The police were at the hospital when the 23 -year -old man entered with a scramble injury. He told investigators that he had been shot in the city center. The police have not yet found other links between the two victims.
New Haven police chief Karl Jacobson told ABC WTNH’s local subsidiary that Cornelius was “known to the police.”
“There are different groups that are strengthening,” Jacobson told the station. “We don’t just have the regular bar to face, we have these other ongoing situations.”
