In the late summer of 2016, the life of 25-year-old Dyshant Levi Mclean was tragically cut short. On the night of August 30, 2016, Mclean was fatally shot in New Haven, Connecticut. The incident, which also resulted in the death of 36-year-old Tyree McCrea, unfolded on Dewitt Street, marking a grim chapter in the city's history of gun violence.
When police responded to reports of a shooting, they discovered Mclean at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest; he was pronounced
dead at the scene. McCrea was transported to a local hospital but succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival. Investigators believed the shooting was not a random act of violence, suggesting that both Mclean and McCrea were the intended targets. In the immediate aftermath, police indicated that they were pursuing "strong leads" and had recovered two firearms that might have been involved in the double homicide.
Despite the initial promising leads, the investigation into the murders of Dyshant Mclean and Tyree McCrea has not led to any publicly announced arrests or the naming of any suspects in the years that have followed. The case remains a painful and unresolved tragedy for their families and the New Haven community. Authorities had appealed to the public for any information that could lead to a breakthrough in the case, but the identities of those responsible for the deaths of the two men remain unknown based on available online sources.
