In the early hours of Sunday, August 4, 2024, the life of 36-year-old Antwan Googe, a Black male from Hartford, Connecticut, was tragically cut short. The incident unfolded around 1:11 a.m. in the vicinity of the 60 block of Fishfry Street, where Googe was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds. Responding officers acted swiftly to transport him to Hartford Hospital, but tragically, he succumbed to his injuries.
The Hartford Police Department's Major Crimes and Crime Scene Divisions
have since launched a homicide investigation into Googe's death. Preliminary findings suggest that the shooting may have been the result of an altercation that occurred at a large party taking place behind a commercial building in the area. Authorities have indicated that this was one of two fatal shootings that occurred in Hartford within a two-hour timeframe, though they believe the incidents are unrelated.
As of now, the investigation into Antwan Googe's death is ongoing, and authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with the case. The Hartford Police Department continues to appeal to the public for any information that may aid in their investigation and has encouraged anyone with knowledge of the incident to contact their tip line.
