In the late autumn of 2020, the life of Josiah Hunter, a 28-year-old Black / African American man from Waterbury, Connecticut, was tragically cut short. On November 3, 2020, Hunter was killed by an act of gun violence in his home city. The specific circumstances surrounding the shooting, including the exact time and location, have not been widely reported in the available online sources.
Josiah, born in Waterbury on October 18, 1992, was remembered as a pleasant and joyful individual who
brought a brilliant light to any room he entered. Educated in the Waterbury public school system, he was pursuing a career as a Certified Nursing Assistant at the time of his death. In his youth, he was an active participant at the Boys and Girls Club of Waterbury and had played basketball for the Waterbury PAL Sports Organization. He was a father to two children, Kamrin and Denym Hunter.
Despite the passage of time, publicly available information regarding the investigation into Josiah Hunter's death is scarce. Online sources and news reports accessible through searches do not contain details of any arrests made in connection with the homicide, nor do they name any potential suspects. The case remains unsolved in the public domain, leaving a void in the narrative of his untimely passing. His death is noted on a national gun violence memorial, a somber reminder of a life lost.
