Connecticut Police Release Bodycam Footage of Teen's Fatal Self-Inflicted Shooting

News summary

East Hartford police released bodycam footage showing their interaction with a 17-year-old Hartford teen who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after an incident at the AAA Diner. Officers responded to reports of four individuals leaving the diner without paying a $115 bill and stopped them after seeing them enter an Uber. The teen appeared calm and agreed to pay the bill, but when officers attempted to pat him down before escorting him back, he ran away. Moments later, the teen was found with a gunshot wound to his leg, which investigators believe was accidentally self-inflicted during the chase. The gun found at the scene was stolen, traced to South Windsor, and the teen was taken to St. Francis Hospital where he died during surgery. Police are continuing their investigation and have asked anyone with information to contact Detective Patrick Sullivan.
