Windsor, Connecticut — On January 30, 2025, at approximately 8:22 p.m., Windsor Police Officer Brandon Thomas located a suspicious vehicle parked in the parking lot of a Tiger Mart gas station at 160 Windsor Avenue. The vehicle, a 2008 Jeep Liberty Sport, had a marker plate that came back to another vehicle. While on scene, two persons exited the convenience store and walked toward the Jeep. Officer Thomas approached the two persons and began to ask about the misuse of the marker plate. At that time, one of the two persons, Geovanni Nunez, a Hispanic male, age 21, ran away.

Officer Thomas chased Nunez across Windsor Avenue and into the entrance to Keney Park. While giving chase, Officer Thomas yelled, “Stop running or I’m going to fucking tase you.” He then pulled out his actual firearm from its holster and fired one round at Nunez. Officer Thomas then said, “Oh shit, I didn’t mean to do that.” Nunez was not hit and was subsequently taken into custody. During the apprehension, Officer Thomas fell into a stream and his body-worn camera became soaked. The recording, however, was able to be recovered. Following his arrest, Nunez accused Officer Thomas of shooting at him. Officer Thomas denied this and said that he only used his TASER. The investigation is continuing.
