BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - Police in Bridgeport have released the name of a man who was shot to death on Christmas Eve.

The Connecticut Post reports (https://bit.ly/2iGyGZk ) police said Wednesday that 27-year-old Miguel Rivera, of Bridgeport, was gunned down early Saturday morning near North Avenue. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say they’re working to catch the suspected shooter.
