Hartford Man Guilty Of West Hartford Man's Murder: State's Attorney

HARTFORD, CT — A Hartford man was found guilty Tuesday for stabbing and killing a West Hartford resident in Manchester in 2021, according to state officials.

Hartford State’s Attorney Sharmese L. Walcott announced that Garry Ramsey, 58, of Hartford, was found guilty by a jury today of murder.

Ramsey’s conviction stems from the June 5, 2021 stabbing death of Robert Callahan, 68, of West Hartford.

Evidence presented at trial showed Ramsey went to a Manchester home searching for an acquaintance, authorities said.

When the victim refused to let him in, Ramsey forced entry into the home and ultimately fatally stabbed the victim, Walcott said.

Sentencing is scheduled for April 4 in Hartford Superior Court before Judge Kevin C. Doyle.

The case was prosecuted by Deputy Assistant State’s Attorney Samantha Magnani and Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney John F. Fahey, with assistance from Inspector Luis Rodriguez.
