Shootings down, homicides up to date this year
Many are contemplating how shootings are down by nearly half this year compared to the same time period last year, but homicides are up.
Last year, there were two homicides in March, none in April and then four in May. This year there were two in January (back to back days), then a quiet period until the
end of March, which kicked-off three homicides within eight days.
Qusaan McKoy was shot Monday night and died early Tuesday morning. He
was shot several times, including at least once in the head.
Why do you think the homicide to shooting ratio has increased this year compared to the same time period last year? Comment below.

Kmel Davis to face trial in slaying of Melvin Galloway
Kmel Davis is expected to claim he acted in self-defense when he goes on trial Jan. 3 for the
shooting death of Melvin Galloway and the wounding of a second man.
Davis, 20, of 1313 Ella T. Grasso Blvd., is charged with murder for killing Galloway, who was 33, and first-degree assault for allegedly shooting the man who survived. Davis also faces a charge of carrying a pistol without a permit.
He has been held in lieu of $2 million bail since his arrest Oct. 10, 2011.
The two men were shot on Clay Street Sept. 30, 2011 in what police called a dispute over sales of drugs.
The survivor of the shooting is expected to testify as well as one or two eyewitnesses. One of those witnesses said she knew Davis.
A portion of the crime was recorded by a resident’s camera surveillance system in the area of Clay Street and Maltby Place.
According to the police affidavit by Detective Nicole Natale, the videotape showed an SUV pulling up in front of a house on Clay Street. A black male wearing a light-colored sweatshirt exited the passenger side door and walked toward that address.

Case against suspect in Mitchell Dubey killing continued
NEW HAVEN — Tashaun Fair, accused of murder in the shooting death of Mitchell Dubey, had his case continued to another date Wednesday in Superior Court so his attorney can review police reports on the case.

Fair, 19, of 250 Newhall St., is accused of entering a nearby house on Bassett Street March 24, 2011 and shooting Dubey, 23, in the chest during a botched robbery. He is being held in lieu of $3 million bail.
Fair, dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit, smiled at a half-dozen supporters as he entered the courtroom. When Clifford asked him if he had any questions about his case, Fair said he did not.
The next pretrial session was scheduled for Nov. 1.

Zackery Cody Franklin charged with 4th homicide; 3 took place in New Haven
NEW HAVEN — A 21-year-old man was arraigned Wednesday for a fourth homicide, the latest charge stemming from a 2007 killing he allegedly committed when he was 17.
Zackery Cody Franklin, shown in the photo in court, who is jailed on three other murder charges, said nothing in court when he was arraigned for the December 2007
slaying of Jeremiah Johnson, 32, whose body was found near the entrance of East Rock Park at the Hamden town line.
His alleged accomplice, John Torry Denby, 27, also is in jail in lieu of nearly $400,000 bail stemming from drug sale arrests.
Their public defender and court bond commissioner acknowledged that bond for both was “academic” given the fact that they have been unable to post the existing bonds.The bail commissioner noted that Franklin already was jailed in lieu of more than $5 million bail in the other cases.
Regardless of any new bond on top of that, it seemed impossible he would be able to post it.
Franklin, of West Haven, has been charged with killing three people in two cities. Johnson was the fourth. He is accused of killing
Ryan Barnaby in 2011 when the victim allegedly showed up to sell him a gun in Edgewood Park. Last July, he allegedly killed a man in Waterbury when, while celebrating his 21st birthday, he tried to rob him of his three-wheeled motorcycle.
That same month in New Haven, he allegedly killed
John-Claude James in the Hill during a robbery involving a gold chain.
Franklin fled the state and was arrested in November in Virginia.
In court Wednesday, he stuck out his tongue to someone in the gallery and smiled.

Science Burrus charged with manslaughter in Marquell Banks death; murder charge dropped
 |
| Marquell Banks |
The prosecutor in the criminal case for
Science Burrus Friday dropped the murder charge, conceding there is no evidence he intentionally shot his friend,
Marquell Banks.
Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Michael Pepper substituted new charges of first-degree manslaughter with a firearm and possession of a sawed-off shotgun.
Pepper and New Haven Chief Public Defender Thomas Ullmann had been embroiled in a probable cause hearing concerning the murder charge for the past month. In such hearings a judge ultimately decides whether the state has sufficient evidence to lodge the charge.
The two attorneys had been scheduled to present their closing arguments in the case Friday afternoon. But Friday morning Pepper announced his decision, relieving Fasano of the need to rule.

Daniel Petrillo pleads guilty in Josiah Alexander death
 |
| Josiah Alexander |
NEW HAVEN --
Daniel Petrillo Thursday pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in exchange for a deal that will keep him in prison for 10 years in the stabbing death of
Josiah Alexander during a fight at a party in Westville two years ago.
Petrillo, who is now 23, had been charged with murder in the crime,
which occurred Nov. 21, 2010 at 15 Westerleigh Road.
Alexander, of 287 Ashmun St., was 23 at the time of his death.
Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Brian Sibley Sr. told Superior Court Judge Roland Fasano that Alexander’s family had had “a change of heart” and were “being compassionate” in their input about the sentence.
“They decided they would leave it up to the court, as long as he pleaded guilty and accepted responsibility for Mr. Alexander’s death,” Sibley said. “Since they can’t bring him back, they want to get on with their lives.”
Under the agreement, Petrillo June 1 will receive a 20-year sentence, to be suspended after he serves 10 years. He will then face five years of probation.
Alexander’s friends told police Petrillo became enraged when Alexander took a sip from Petrillo’s bottle of liquor.

Zackery Cody Franklin charged with second New Haven murder
Even the defense acknowledged that the question of bail was largely academic since the 21-year-old was jailed in lieu of $3.6 million for two other killings and on Tuesday faced a third murder charge.
Zackery Cody Franklin said nothing
during his arraignment Tuesday except to say he understood his right to remain silent.
Franklin, of West Haven, is charged with killing three people in two cities, including
Ryan Barnaby, in New Haven on May 23, 2011 and
John-Claude James on July 6, 2011. Barnaby's killing was the case that brought Franklin to court. Barnaby was shot in the head in a robbery. According to a witness, he also was Franklin’s gun supplier.

Man accused of William Baines murder to be extradited to Connecticut
 |
| William Baines |
A man accused of shooting a man to death in front of the victim’s mother will be returned to Connecticut to face a murder charge.
Derek Bouknight, 23, of West Haven, had been jailed in New Jersey serving three years on a weapon possession charge.
Through an executive order, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy agreed that the accused killer be extradited to Connecticut to face charges in the Oct. 9, 2010, killing of
William Baines, 27, of New Haven.
Bouknight fled the state after the killing, police said, and U.S. Marshals tracked him to Elizabeth, N.J., where he was arrested after a foot chase. Authorities seized a .38-caliber handgun.
New Haven Police Lt. Roger Young said Bouknight said Bouknight would be extradited but didn’t have a time frame for his arrival back in Connecticut.
City police said Baines was killed “without mercy” as he stood with his family outside of his residence at 330 W. Division St. A close friend allegedly pleaded with the shooter during the confrontation, saying that Baines’ mother was right there, to which the shooter responded, “So what. I don’t care,” according to the victim’s sister.
Detective, meanwhile, have been using a lull in homicides — there have been none in 2012 — to take renewed looks at older cases.
Sgt. Tony Reyes said homicide investigators reviewed old cases and identified ones that were the most solvable. He expressed optimism that the homicide squad could have arrests in at least three cases, one dating back to 2007.

A block further east on Willis Street, police processed a second, related crime scene. Evidence markers littered the intersection of Sherman Parkway and Willis Street. A man and woman smoking cigarettes on the porch of a house at the corner declined comment.
"We don't want to talk about it."

Dean Esserman sworn in as New Haven Police Chief
New Haven has a new police chief.
From William Kaempffer's article on
Dean Esserman's ceremony:
"It's a huge moment of urgency. Homicides have just soared in New Haven in the last two years," said New Haven Mayor John DeStefano Jr. "Violence simply put is terrifying a lot of our neighborhoods. It's sucking optimism from a lot of the good and right things that we are doing and most dramatically... it's killing our children."
What do you think this means for the murder rate of New Haven, which has seen 54 homicides since Jan. 1, 2010? Does Esserman bring hope for a decrease in murder and crime? What areas should the police focus on most?
