Six months after a New London teenager was shot and killed, police arrested three men in connection to the events leading up to his death.
Ronde Ford, 17, was found dead on Grand Street in New London on Feb. 17. Police say he was shot multiple times. Ford's father, James, identified Ronde as the victim and told NBC Connecticut in February that his son was a football player and an aspiring rapper.
“He was extremely smart, extremely athletic,” said Ford.
On Sunday, police arrested three people in connection to the events that lead to Ford's death. Their arrest warrants are revealing new information about the shooting.
According to the court documents, the shooting was captured on a City of New London camera.
Police said the video shows Ford, a passenger, in a car with three other people on Grand Street. According to an NLPD detective, the car stopped and the driver exited the vehicle. Shortly after the driver exited, Ford can be seen exiting the car and striking the driver with an object, the detective explained in the warrant.
The two, Ford and the driver, continued to struggle until the fight ends with Ford's death. He was shot multiple times, police said.
The driver of the car was seen on camera, according to the warrant, pointing a firearm in a downward motion towards where Ford was believed to be laying on the road. The driver then drove away and out of the camera frame, the detective wrote.
According to the warrant, the two other passengers can be seen on camera fleeing the scene.
Police later learned, through interviews and search warrants, detailed in court documents, that Ford and the two other passengers had allegedly been planning to rob the driver of the car that they were in that evening. According to information in the warrant, the driver was an acquaintance of one of the passengers.
"There was a circumstance or circumstances that led to this terrible situation. Nonetheless there was a life lost," said Chief Brian Wright of the New London Police Department. "And it’s important that people in general or particularly young people understand the consequences of bad choices.”
The two other passengers in the car, identified as Mack Mann and Justice Rodriguez, are now facing several charges including criminal attempt of robbery.
Police also arrested the driver of the car, Franc Gjergjaj. He is facing several charges including carrying a pistol without a permit.
According to the warrant, Ford underwent an autopsy. The cause of death was ruled as gunshot wounds to the neck and extremities with the manner of death ruled as homicide.
“I think the upmost diligence and attention was exercised in collaboration with the states attorney’s office to ensure the applicable charges were applied," said Chief Wright. "What could be done, was done."
Wright said that the police department conducted a thorough investigation.
"It was understood from the very beginning what a terrible situation it was and that a life was lost," said Chief Wright.
Pending any new information, police are not planning on additional arrests at this time.
Mann and Rodriguez appeared in court for the first time Monday. Gjergjaj is scheduled for a court hearing in October.

New London — One of the things youth mentor Ruben Johnson-Santiago noticed during a weekend vigil for 17-year-old shooting victim Ronde Ford was the colors.
The young teenage friends of Ford were not wearing the traditional green and gold of a New London Whaler. They wore red hats and bandanas, carried bottles of Hennessy and smoked pot in front of the police while some parents looked on.
Whether gang activity, as the red colors suggest, was a part of Ford’s shooting death on Feb. 18 remains unclear, but Johnson-Santiago said there are “lost youth” in the city in need of guidance.
Johnson-Santiago was among a group of 20 people who gathered Monday at T.H.E. Church in downtown New London trying to to sort out the problem and find solutions. Johnson-Santiago and T.H.E. Church Pastor Angel Aybar organized the event they hoped would serve as a kickoff to a continued community conversation.
“Senseless. It shouldn’t have happened,” Johnson-Santiago said. “We need to get these kids back. Sit 'em down, find out who needs the help, what doors we need to knock on to get these kids back on track.”
The theme of Monday’s event was consistency and accountability, and Aybar said he expects formation of a group to meet on a regular basis to “reconstruct that bridge back to our youth.”
“Tonight, the intention is to just have the conversation. If you came here thinking we’re going to fix everything today, I’m sorry to let you down,” Aybar said.
Ford was shot in the area of Grand and Elm streets and pronounced dead at the scene, not far from his family home. He was a senior at New London High School, attending remotely, a football player and aspiring rapper who family members said was a good kid despite some past brushes with the law and what his father called a “rapper persona.”
City Council President Efrain Dominguez, a longtime educator and lifelong New London resident, called for community members to reach out to the youth involved with Ford to ensure the violence associated with the incident did not continue.
“We need to get in their faces — politely,” Dominguez said. “We don’t want anything else to happen.”
Mayor Michael Passero called it an unspeakable tragedy and vowed to use all available resources in an attempt to reach those youth in the city before they they made a mistake “that irrevocably changes their future.”
New London resident Derrick Strong said there needs to be a more persistent effort to give New London youth more experiences, whether it is trips to the water at places like Ocean Beach Park or vocational training from the city’s largest employer, Electric Boat. He asked whether the city is doing enough to seek funding for youth programs and making use of all available spaces, like Riverside Park, to create places for youth recreation.
“The kids are not getting out of their comfort zone,” Strong said.
Strong also wondered how much had changed in the city since the random murder of of 25-year-old Matthew Chew in 2010 by a group of teens.
