1 Dead, 2 Injured In I-95 Shooting, Victim IDs Released: State Police

DARIEN, CT — One man has died and two others remain injured following a shooting that occurred early Wednesday morning on Interstate 95, according to the Connecticut State Police.

The men were found wounded inside a car in Darien at 3:42 a.m., police said.

The car, a 2013 Infiniti G37 with New York registration, had exited I-95 at exit 10, and was seen driving slowly southbound on Noroton Avenue in the area of Maple Street when it was stopped by a Darien police sergeant, police said.

Emergency Medical Services personnel responded to the scene, and the area was closed for several hours on Wednesday.

The right front passenger, identified as Earl Gayle, 31, was taken to Stamford Hospital where he was pronounced dead, the CSP said.

The driver, Jovel McKenzie, 29, suffered a superficial wound to the right shoulder and refused medical treatment.

Rashawn McCalla, 28, another passenger on the rear left-side of the car, underwent surgery and is currently listed in stable condition, police said.

Police said earlier on Wednesday the Infiniti was traveling on I-95 southbound between Bridgeport and Darien when another vehicle came alongside and fired gunshots.

Detectives closed a stretch of I-95 southbound from exits 18-16 in order to canvass the area on foot Wednesday. Police said they recovered 10 shell casings south of the exit 16 on-ramp.

Additionally, the Infiniti was seized and "numerous items of evidentiary value" were recovered, police said.

"This case remains active, fluid and ongoing," CSP said early Wednesday evening.

Anyone with information or dashcam video of the incident is asked to contact the Western District Major Crimes Squad Detectives at Troop G at 203-696-2500.

Tips will remain confidential.
