Doyle said that according to evidence introduced at trial, on May 27, 2017, Battle shot Suggs and Boone on Dickerman Street in New Haven. Suggs suffered a gunshot wound to the neck and later recovered, Doyle said. Boone was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital for treatment but later succumbed to his injuries.

In a news release, Doyle thanked the "New Haven Police Department, whose detectives and officers diligently investigated this case for five years ..." Battle was arrested and charged in 2022.

The NHPD investigation included the New Haven offices of the FBI, and the ATF. Doyle said the state's Division of Scientific Services "offered invaluable assistance in the analysis of evidence."

The case was prosecuted by Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney Seth R. Garbarsky and Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney Melissa R. Holmes, who were assisted by Inspector Michael Mastropetre.
