A Hartford man faces a felony charge after police say he fired a gun into an occupied home on Sunday morning.

Hartford Police Chief Annie Ward said police arrested 23-year-old Matthew Todd Chandler and charged him with felony shooting into an occupied dwelling.

Ward said the charge stemmed from police responding to a report of someone inside a Chevrolet pickup shooting at a Hartford home around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. The truck was last seen driving toward Newton Street, and ultimately was able to escape law enforcement.

According to a Hartford police statement posted to the department Facebook page, after a three-day investigation a suspect was identified and arrested at a relative’s home in Georgia.

Ward called the shooting domestic-related. She said Chandler had his first appearance in court Wednesday afternoon during which his bail was set at $200,000.
