The Connecticut Office of the Inspector General gave an update on a Sept. 19 shooting in which three officers shot and killed a New Haven man.

The inspector general’s office said that the man, 36-year-old Jebrell Conley, had an outstanding arrest warrant on robbery and firearm charges. The police department was told that Conley was at the Splash Car Wash on Boston Post Road in West Haven.

Once police arrived at the car wash, they allegedly tried to block Conley’s Hyundai Tucson with their patrol vehicles. As officers moved in attempts to arrest him, the report said that Conley fired one round that shattered the front driver side window of his car.

Three officers: Connecticut State Police Sgt. Colin Richter, New Haven Police Sgt. Francisco Sanchez and New Haven Police Officer Michael Valente, shot at Conley, according to the report, striking him multiple times until he fell out of the car and onto the parking lot.

Body camera footage shows the moments that shots were fired from both Conley and police.

Conley was transported to Yale New Haven Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Officers said that they recovered a handgun with a high capacity magazine from the Hyundai Tucson that Conley was driving, which appeared to be jammed.

New Haven Police Chief Karl Jacobson said based on the body camera video and initial investigation, he believes his officers used appropriate force to protect themselves and the public.
