Bridgeport firefighters gathered Monday morning in a show of support for one of their own who was shot and killed.
Firefighters stood outside of the Golden Hill Courthouse in Bridgeport at 9 a.m. ahead of Jabari Bush's arraignment.
Bush is charged in the shooting death of 41-year-old Terrence Cramer, who was shot around 2 a.m. Saturday on Feeley Street in Stratford.
Bush is accused of shooting Cramer after breaking into the home of his ex-girlfriend. The arrest warrant says Bush found Cramer asleep in bed with the women.
The document also says Bush had been trying to rekindle the relationship and went to the show Thursday. He then came back just before midnight Friday and rang the doorbell four times. Bush then returned nearly two hours later and found a way inside the home, leading to the fatal confrontation.
Following the shooting, Bush was taken into custody in Derby.
The girlfriend informed police that she dated Bush for nearly five years before breaking up with him in January. Her relationship with Cramer began last month.
Cramer had served as a Bridgeport firefighter for nearly 10 years.
Those who knew and worked alongside Cramer are still shocked by what happened.
“Terry was just a solid guy. A solid guy. Quiet, humble, kind. I mean, all the things you want in not just a firefighter, but a human being, right? He was just a good dude,” said Dave Dobbs, president of Bridgeport Firefighters IAFF Local 834.
Cramer leaves behind two boys.
Bush has been charged with murder, home invasion and criminal possession of a firearm. During the arraignment, a judge increased Bush's bond from $2 million to $3 million and issued a protective order for the women.
