Police said 18-year-old Tajay Chambers and three younger friends were out hunting a rival gang when they shot and killed 12-year-old Clinton Howell. Chambers and his friends never found members of the Blitz Gang, known as the “BGs,” and Howell was not affiliated with any gang, but Bridgeport has been home to several gangs of various sizes. Both Bridgeport Police and the Connecticut State Police have gang task forces, agencies that routinely cooperate on gang-related issues. “It’s alarming,” Bridgeport Police Chief Armando Perez said in 2017. “There’s a tremendous amount of guns out there. We have been taking them off the street — but they keep coming in.
