Jabari Bush, 41, faces murder, home invasion, and firearm possession charges in the March 28, 2026, shooting death of Terrence Cramer, a respected 41-year-old Bridgeport firefighter, in Stratford, Connecticut.
Incident Breakdown
Around 1:44 a.m., police responded to a Feeley Street home where Cramer was found bleeding from a thigh gunshot wound—he died shortly after. Bush’s ex-girlfriend reported waking in bed with Cramer to Bush in the room (via unlocked door), yelling “you’re here with another man,” punching her, and firing—sparking flashes amid Cramer’s cry of being shot.
Backstory and Evidence
Their 5-year relationship ended for good in January 2026; she began dating Cramer in February. Bush harassed her post-breakup with nonstop calls (blocked), ignored Facebook messages, and a workplace confrontation. Ring doorbell footage confirmed Bush lurking outside all night.
Arrest and Aftermath
Bush fled but was caught after a brief vehicle chase later that day. Bridgeport Fire Department mourned Cramer, who served 9.5 years with distinction. Bush held on $3M bond; next court: April 14.
