The shooting took place around 1:15 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 25 on Sherman Avenue, between Elm Street and Whalley Avenue in New Haven, said Officer Scott Shumway, of the New Haven Police.

When officers arrived on the scene, a concerned citizen led responding officers to Lemuel Hamilton, a 45-year-old New Haven man, who had been struck by gunfire, Shumway said.
