New Britain Police have identified musician, Zoe Dowdell, as the man shot and killed in a deadly officer-involved shooting on Thursday night. He was 20.
Authorities said Dowdell, aka, “Gangstalicious,” was a passenger in a vehicle and was killed by police when they opened fire on the operator of the vehicle following a pursuit. The driver allegedly refused to comply with orders and drove head-on toward officers.
Shortly thereafter, police opened fire on the three suspects near the intersection of Newington Avenue and Chapman Street. One of them, whom police identified as a 15-year-old boy, was scheduled to be arraigned in New Britain Superior Court on Friday afternoon. He was issued a juvenile summons for carrying weapons in a motor vehicle, possession of a pistol without a permit and possession of narcotics. source
The other, identified as 18-year-old Noah Young of Bloomfield, was charged with risk of injury to a child, possession of narcotics and possession with intent to sell. Young was treated by New Britain General Hospital for graze wounds and released into police custody.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at this difficult time.
