The Ansonia Police Department has released this sketch of a “person of interest” in the July 15 murder of Bernice McFadden.
Police said Tuesday they were trying to locate the man, who is described as black, 5’10” with a stocky muscular build and large dark amber brown eyes. The man was last seen wearing a white T-Shirt, jeans and a blue Atlanta Braves baseball hat.
Police have linked an older model Buick with tinted windows to the man and ask anyone with information to contact the department at (203) 735-1885 or (203) 736-2140. Police said they would keep callers’ identification confidential.
Just after midnight on July 15, a man entered a courtyard in the complex and opened fire at a group of people standing outside. McFadden, 39, was the only person killed. The shooting came just weeks after a woman was stabbed to death on a balcony at the apartment complex.
Police made an arrest shortly after the stabbing, but were left searching for a suspect in the July 15 shooting.
In a prepared statement, police referred all calls to the office of Ansonia Police Chief Kevin Hale.
However, at 3:30 p.m., a dispatcher answering the phone said Hale had left for the day.
