On the night of March 12, 1971, 49-year-old Earl Collins was working at the Ludlow Service Station on 219 E. Ave in Norfolk, Connecticut. Around 10:27 p.m. three black males entered the store. They decided to rob the store, and during the process one of the men shot Earl in the chest. A witness of the crime also had the gun pointed at him. The man tried to fire the gun, but it didn't.
Earl was still alive and made it to the hospital. The bullet had entered his spine. He had later died the next Tuesday at the hospital from his injury.
All three suspects were black males. One was light-skinned and was around 6'3" and 6'4". The other two were around 6'0" and had a medium complexion.
