August so far has been a violent month for New Haven. As of August 18 there have been four reported homicides along with five non-fatal shooting victims.

August 1: Two 26-year-old men are shot while near the intersection of Kensington and Chapel streets. Tyrese Jones succumbs to his wounds and the other victim survived. Police obtained a warrant for the arrest of Errol Godfrey-Hill, who was already being held on other charges.

August 3: A 71-year-old man allegedly shot a 23-year-old man in the head in a Donna Drive apartment building. There are conflicting stories about what transpired during the incident. Police charged Anthony Anamasi with first-degree assault.

August 6: A store clerk shoots and kills robbery suspect Christian Munoz, 19. Police rule that the homicide was in self-defense and the clerk wasn't charged.

August 7: A man was shot while driving his car on Ridge Street. Police said that he was shot by a man inside the car and the man attempted to take another shot at the victim, but missed.

August 8: Three people are shot while inside a car near the intersection of Davenport Avenue and Vernon Street. Jacob Craggett, 15, succumbed to his wounds and his brother Joshua Craggett, 23, was last reported to be in critical, but stable condition. Jacob Craggett was buried on August 16.

August 17: Darryl McNair was just hours into his 58th birthday when he was struck and killed by a stray bullet while playing solitaire in his residence around 2 a.m. on Strong Street.

Lisa Craggett had been operating on seven hours of sleep since Friday night when her son Jacob Craggett, 15, was shot and killed and her other son Joshua Craggett was critically wounded.

She got back from visiting Joshua at Yale-New Haven Hospital, which is around the corner from Friday night's shooting scene and near her mother and sister's house Tuesday afternoon. She was eager to tell Jacob's story.

She said she would recall Jacob Craggett as an average 15-year-old who was heavily interested in football and someone who his friends could count on as a mentor when they needed advice. He played defensive tackle at Hillhouse High School.

Jacob Craggett's funeral is Saturday August 16 at Christian Tabernacle Baptist Church at 425 Newhall Street in Hamden, just over the New Haven border. Viewing will take place between 9 and 11 a.m. with the funeral to follow from approximately 11 to 1 p.m.

Lisa Craggett urged anyone with information about the shooting to call police, even if they think the information is just rumor or hearsay. Its up to the detectives to sort out truth from fiction, she said. The number for detectives is 203-946-6316.

Friday night's shooting stirred up memories of when Jacob and Joshua's cousin Jason Craggett, 22, was shot and killed at the front step of the family home in 2004.

NEW HAVEN >> After a prosecutor reported Friday that the state’s lone witness had recanted her allegations against Lawrence Easterling III in the shooting death of Devaante Jackson, a judge dismissed the charge of murder.

Superior Court Judge Patrick J. Clifford also dismissed the other pending charges in the case: carrying a pistol without a permit and illegal possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle.

Although Easterling, 20, of 294 Eastern St., still faces four pending cases unrelated to the murder, he had previously posted the $50,000 bond for them and so was able to walk out of the courthouse Friday with his relieved family. He had been held in lieu of a $650,000 bail on the murder charge.

“Justice has prevailed,” said Easterling’s father, Lawrence Easterling Jr., who was in court with three other family members.

A warrant that charges Godfrey-Hill with murder was signed Thursday. The bond was set at $1 million and he is scheduled to be arraigned Friday.
