## Resource

A 28-year-old man, Lewis Santiago, just received a 35-year prison sentence after fatally shooting 26-year-old Tyrese Blue Jr. during a botched illegal gun sale in 2023. The case took a dramatic turn when Santiago, originally scheduled for trial in July, abruptly accepted a plea deal admitting guilt to felony murder and firearm possession. The shooting occurred after an argument erupted at the transaction; Blue died on the scene despite emergency efforts. Prosecutors, led by Adrienne Russo and Dean Hanafin with key investigative support from New Haven police, built a compelling case that underscores how swiftly violence can spiral into lifelong consequences.
