At the center of the story is a simple, haunting fact: a dying man waited for help while an ambulance meant for him was diverted elsewhere. Best, a 39-year-old Black man, was shot by police during a foot chase in Bridgeport on March 31, 2025. Authorities say Best fled from officers and was holding a gun during the pursuit.
