Suspect Arraigned as Warrant Details Killing of Bridgeport Firefighter

A newly unsealed warrant points to a rage-fueled break-in before the shooting.

Overview

  • Jabari Bush, 41, appeared in court Monday on charges of murder, home invasion and criminal possession of a firearm, with bond set at $3 million.
  • The arrest warrant says Bush forced his way into his ex-girlfriend's home, shouted about finding her with Terrence Cramer, punched her, then shot Cramer.
  • Police found Cramer, 41, with a gunshot wound at a Stratford home, where a paramedic pronounced him dead at the scene.
  • Officers arrested Bush in Derby after a brief vehicle pursuit hours later, with help from Connecticut State Police and the New Haven, Seymour, Shelton and Derby departments.
  • Bridgeport leaders mourned Cramer, a nearly 10-year firefighter and father of three, as colleagues filled the courtroom and the city lowered flags to half-staff.
