Overview
- Connecticut’s inspector general concluded Officer Yoon Heo was justified in shooting Dyshan Best during a foot chase after body-camera video showed Best holding a handgun.
- The first ambulance arrived at 6:02 p.m. but transported Officer Erin Perrotta, described as visibly hysterical, leading Best to wait about 10 minutes for a second ambulance.
- Hospital records show Best reached the emergency department at 6:22 p.m. with liver and right kidney injuries and died at 7:41 p.m. during treatment.
- The report did not assess whether the transport delay affected the outcome, leaving medical causation unresolved.
- Bridgeport police said Internal Affairs will conduct its own review, Perrotta is on administrative leave for an unrelated matter, and Best’s family disputes that he had a gun, citing a vape pen, a claim the report counters with body-cam footage and a handgun found near the scene.
