2 Men Fatally Shot In Restaurant Parking Lot In CT: Report

BLOOMFIELD, CT — A potential suspect was identified in the fatal shooting early Saturday of Aaron Walker, 43, of Windsor, and Franklin Spencer, 42, of East Hartford, in a restaurant parking lot, according to police.

The two victims were found shot in the parking lot of Elizabeth's Bar & Restaurant on Park Avenue and police said they had an argument with another man that spilled out into the parking lot, WTNH News 8 reported.

The suspect remained at large, according to Fox 61, but NBC Connecticut reported that Bloomfield police want to speak with Russell Smith, 44, of Windsor. A warrant was prepared charging Smith with two counts of murder, NBC CT reported Monday afternoon.

Both victims were taken to a local hospital around 1 a.m. Saturday and died in the emergency room, authorities said. One victim was shot in the chest and the other in the head, authorities said.

Eddie Glass told NBC Connecticut the two men who were shot and killed were her brothers.

"I'm angry, but you won't get my hate," Glass said, according to NBC Connecticut. "You will never get my hate. And I will forgive. It's going to be hard. You know, these violence, murders, they say it's senseless, but it's not because there's a reason why it happens. What's senseless is that we continue to stand by and let it happen."

Police are investigating and anyone with information is asked to call Bloomfield police at 860-242-5501.
