Connecticut report questions police tactics in Jonathan Bell's fatal shooting but finds no grounds for prosecution.

The Connecticut Office of Inspector General released a report stating that the 2024 police shooting of Jonathan Mark Lewis Bell was questionable but lacked sufficient evidence for criminal prosecution. Officers from the Bridgeport Police Department pursued Bell, suspected of having drugs and weapons, leading to a chase and crash. After the crash, officers fired after Bell allegedly reached for an object; no weapon was found. The report found flawed tactics but not enough proof for unjustified use of force. The Department will review the issues and provide training to officers.
