## Resource

A 35-year-old man, Shawn Milner, just received a 45-year sentence for the 2010 murder of 42-year-old Waqas Rehman — a case that went cold for over a decade before DNA evidence finally linked him to the crime. The brutal abduction and shooting outside Rehman’s business, The Smoker’s Stop, shocked Hartford — and justice finally arrived after years of relentless investigation by the Cold Case Unit, Hartford PD, and the State’s Attorney’s Office. Milner’s DNA, found on Rehman’s clothes and car, sealed the conviction. This verdict brings long-overdue closure for Rehman’s family — a powerful reminder that persistence in justice can, eventually, prevail.
