Police say Poole murdered the mother in a “targeted killing” while she occupied a vehicle with her two children, ages 6 and 11.
On Thursday, New Haven police said States Attorney Pat Griffin asked for the governor to approve a $25,000 reward to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of Poole. This brings the total reward to $30,000, as police initially were offering a $5,000 reward. source
Police said Poole is also accused of shooting another woman on May 7.
In that case, a 36-year-old woman said she had been shot by her husband, later identified as Poole.
Anyone with information on the incident is urged to contact police at 911.
