In the early hours of June 10, 2022, the quiet of a North Bridgeport neighborhood was broken by the sound of gunfire. Noel McIntosh, a 37-year-old Black male from Bridgeport, was found lying in the street on Priscilla Circle at approximately 1:25 a.m., suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency services were called to the scene after several reports of a person being shot. McIntosh was quickly transported to an area hospital, but his injuries were too severe, and he was pronounced dead.
His death marked the 10th homicide in the city that year.
The Bridgeport Police Department’s Homicide Squad immediately took charge of the case, processing the crime scene for evidence and beginning the search for those responsible. From the outset, investigators stated their belief that the shooting was not a random act of violence. They characterized the event as an isolated incident, suggesting that it was a targeted attack and that Noel McIntosh likely knew the person or people who shot him. Detectives reported they were pursuing several strong leads in the investigation.
Despite the police department's initial assessment and the active investigation, no arrests have been publicly announced in connection with the murder of Noel McIntosh. The case remains open as authorities continue to seek information from the public to help solve the crime. Left waiting for answers, his mother described her son as a hard-working father and has made public pleas for justice, expressing her fervent hope that those responsible for his death will be found.
