Jebrell Conley (pictured) died after Thursday's police shooting. (Updated) Jebrell Conley was at a car wash Thursday when police shot and killed him during a confrontation while serving a warrant, according to people familiar with the incident. Conley, a 36-year-old New Havener from the Hill neighborhood, was shot dead by a law enforcement agent. Details of the incident are being investigated by the state inspector general’s office, which is expected to release information to the public in the coming days.Local and state police, members of the New Haven Police Department’s violent crime task force, encountered Conley at the Splash Car Wash just over the New Haven-West Haven line at 2 Boston Post Road. They were looking to serve a warrant on Conley, who police said had a gun.Gunfire ensued; it has not been reported how the gunfire started. Two New Haven cops and a state cop assigned to the New Haven task force fired their weapons.At this point, the state is keeping secret the identities of the officers and other key details.Conley was a father to three kids. ​“He did have beautiful children,” said newly-elected Hill Alder Angel Hubbard, who said she is close with the mother of Conley’s kids.“He was a jokester, a funny guy that will truly be missed,” Hubbard said. ​“A tragic situation happened. We’re grieving collectively, not only as a community but as family.”She noted, ​“I know that there’s an investigation going on. We will trust the due diligence of the investigation and the process.”In 2016, Conley was sentenced to five years in prison on federal narcotics charges; he was incarcerated in state prison at that time on unrelated charges. The feds identified him at that time as being connected with the Grape Street Crips gang.The only information released by the state police so far came in a Thursday evening press release.According to that press release, at around 5 p.m. Thursday, the New Haven Violent Crime Task Force was conducting an investigation at 2 Boston Post Rd. in West Haven, just over the New Haven city border.“During the course of the investigation the suspect displayed a firearm,” the press release states. ​“A Connecticut State Police Sergeant and a New Haven Police officer discharged their weapons, causing injury to the suspect.”During a phone interview Thursday evening, Police Chief Karl Jacobson confirmed that the man shot by police had died. He also said that there were actually two New Haven police officers who fired shots during this incident, in addition to the state police sergeant.“These officers don’t want to shoot anybody. It’s tragic,” Jacobson said. He added that he knew the man who died, and has been familiar with his family from Jacobson’s days as a walking beat officer in the Hill.The state police press release does not identify the names of the shooting victim or the officers who fired their weapons. It does state that no law enforcement personnel were injured, and that the scene had been secured.The Office of the Inspector General will lead the investigation of this incident, with the assistance of the New Haven States Attorney.In a separate phone interview Friday morning, Mayor Justin Elicker said that the Office of the Inspector General has told him and the police chief that they cannot publicly release the name of the victim or the names of the police officers involved, and that the inspector general’s office is in charge of releasing that info. He also said that, per the state’s police accountability bill, the inspector general’s office will release body camera footage from the incident within 96 hours. Elicker said he was at the hospital Thursday with the family of the victim, and reiterated how tragic the shooting death was.Laura Glesby contributed reporting.
