Man Found Shot To Death At Wickham Park In Manchester

MANCHESTER, CT — A 31-year-old Hispanic man from New Britain is believed to have been shot after being found dead at Wickham Park in Manchester Sunday night, East Hartford police confirmed Monday afternoon.

The shooting, which police believe was an isolated incident, was reported in the park behind a Tolland Street home around 10:30 p.m. Sunday.

East Hartford police and Manchester police are working together on the investigation because the shooting was reported on the border of the two cities, according to NBC Connecticut.

"Detectives have been working continuously since last night collecting evidence and pursuing leads," police said, adding that they are not releasing the victim's name at this time.

Police are urging anyone with information to contact Detective Paul Sulzicki at 860-291-7544 or call the anonymous tip line at 860-289-9134.
