Man Charged In 2024 Shooting Death Of Woman In Hartford: Police

HARTFORD, CT — The 35-year-old man police believe was responsible for the shooting death of a young woman in Hartford more than a year ago will appear in court next week.

On Nov. 14, the Hartford Police Department formally charged Jubul Walcott, 35, with first-degree manslaughter with a firearm, theft of a firearm, and first-degree reckless endangerment.

He has been released on $500,000 bond and will appear in Hartford Superior Court on Nov. 26, according to online court records.

According to the HPD, Walcott is responsible for the death of Shamyria Williams, 24, on July 5, 2024.

Police said on Friday, July 5, at about 12:50 a.m., officers responded to 40 Cleveland Ave. for a reported shooting.

The HPD said officers located two victims inside a vehicle— a female and a male, both in their 20s.

The female victim, later identified as Williams, was transported to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead, police said.

The male victim was alert, conscious, and also transported for treatment, according to the HPD.

Detectives from the department's major crimes division and crime scene division assumed the investigation, police said.

"As the case progressed, investigators developed probable cause identifying Jubul Walcott as the suspect responsible for the homicide," wrote the HPD.

An arrest warrant was drafted, approved by a superior court judge, with Walcott turning himself in at Hartford Police Department headquarters on Nov. 14.

Walcott was then transported to the Hartford Police Detention Division for processing.

Anyone with information related to violent crimes is urged to contact the HPD Tip Line at 860-722-TIPS (8477).
