IF YOU want to evade an Internet search engine, have a name like John Smith, not Ekrem Boyanov. In a few seconds I had his address off Franklin Avenue in the South End of Hartford, and a home phone number. His profession was listed as stonemason, and he had a wife and two kids. There wasn’t much else in the public record. He had one criminal charge, for allegedly stealing some heavy equipment off a construction site, but the case was dropped for lack of evidence. When he was arrested, some in the Bosniak community spoke with alarm about possible police persecution, a charge the leadership, and the police themselves, vehemently denied.

Nevertheless, Little Boy’s name did pop up a few times on lists of notable Connecticut underworld figures, and in a memo from Shelly’s old outfit leaked to the Hartford Courant. The question was whether they had enough on Boyanov to launch deportation proceedings, deciding later they didn’t, especially given his status as a political refugee. Again, a robust defense by community spokespeople also played a part, raising the potential for some nasty PR for the State’s Attorney. The writer of the memo noted that Little Boy never inflicted his illicit activities on his fellow Bosniaks, an opinion that in effect caused some of the bad PR they hoped to avoid.
