Court documents have been unsealed about the fatal shooting in Danbury earlier this month.  According to the affidavit, 34-year old David Ramos was high on crack cocaine when he accidentally shot and killed his friend, 33-year-old Jason Hoffman, in his Sterling Woods condo unit. 

New information also details how the shooter's former girlfriend told police another man fired the weapon outside the condo, but later admitted that Ramos was the one holding the gun.  She initially told police the other man's name because they had an ongoing issue with him.  Police interviewed that person and determined he is “not considered to have any involvement in the homicide.” 

According to the woman, Ramos took the gun out to either look at or clean it, didn't know the safety was off and the gun went off.  Hoffman was struck in the back, with the bullet passing through both lungs and his heart.  The gun, with the serial number scratched off, was found in a nearby storm drain. 

27-year old Gabrielle Rega was charged with making a false statement and interfering with a police officer along with drug charges. 

Detectives noted it “appeared an attempt was made to clean up the scene or hide certain evidence.”
