When his back up officer arrived at the Duchess, near the border with Norwalk, Bateman was found bleeding from a gunshot wound to the neck. He died shortly afterwards.
Two witnesses reported seeing a heavyset man around the age of 40 run away. However, searches by police and tracking dogs revealed only burglar tools and around $2,000 that had been stolen and apparently dropped during the escape.
The State, town and police union have put up a $100,000 dollar reward for information leading to the conviction of the individual(s) responsible for the slaying of Kenneth Bateman Jr. Police say all calls to them will be confidential and that protection is available.
The Darien police can be reached at 203-662-5330.
