SHOOTING INVESTIGATION

hc-new-haven-shooting-20141207

31 August, 2015 – ROBERSON HOMICIDE CASE UPDATE

 

The State of Connecticut Department of Emergency Services & Public Protection, Division of Scientific Services has reported to us that the human torso found on 30 July, 2015 at 301 George Street is most likely that of Mr. Ray Roberson – a homeless man from New Haven. The torso and earlier discovered arms and legs are all of the same victim.

 

31 August, 2015 – SHOOTING INVESTIGATION

 

At 1:20 AM, Officers were dispatched to Lombard Street and Ferry Street to investigate a reported shooting.

 

The victim, thirty-three year old Herlindo Hamenez Martinez, of New Haven, told Officers he and a friend were leaving Tora’s Restaurant (a bar at that corner) when they were confronted by two men. At least one was Hispanic and was armed with a handgun. The other is thought to be black. They marched the victims around the corner to Chatham Street where two other men joined in on the robbery. They were both black and one was also armed with a handgun. It is unclear as to whether the crooks made off with any of the victim’s valuables but the Hispanic man shot Mr. Martinez in the stomach. His friend took off while being fired at by the other armed man. He was not shot.

 

The shooting victim’s injury is not life threatening. The only available descriptions of the conspirators is that each stands between 5’09” and 6’00” tall. Detectives and Officers found no ballistic evidence at the scene.

 

28 August, 2015 – STABBING INVESTIGATIONS

 

An early evening argument turned into an attack at the Mobil Service Station at 284 Whalley Avenue.

 

At 7:20 PM, Officers were dispatched to 222 Sherman Avenue to investigate a reported assault. The victim, thirty-four year old Kenneth Bogan, of New Haven, told Investigators he was fueling up his ride at the gas station, when he was confronted by a man he claims to have seen in the past. He said the man struck him from behind and that the two fought. He said his assailant fled the area atop a scooter but two others continued assaulting him as he lay on the ground.

 

After one kicked him in the face, the two men fled in separate SUVs.

 

Mr. Bogan suffered a serious but not life-threatening injury to one of his eyes. He was unable to give many details to Detectives due to his treatment at the hospital. Detectives will follow up on the case when the victim is available. The assailants were not described.

 

SIXTY-ONE MINUTES LATER

 

At 8:21 PM, Patrol Officers were dispatched to a stabbing reported at a 10 Garden Street apartment.

 

Once there, they found the victim, twenty-five year old Natanea Watson, of New Haven. She said she was cut on her right forearm and that her cousin Jeter did it. Shakerra Jeter (6-1-1987), of that address, was standing there and told the Officers Watson was right… she stabbed her. Jeter was handcuffed and arrested.

 

When interviewed later on, Jeter told Detectives she was trying to get her cousin to leave. Jeter said the argument began because Watson was drunk and was saying rude things to folks as they passed by. They argued as they went upstairs to her apartment. Once Watson refused to leave, Jeter said she picked up a knife. She said Watson was flailing her arms about and that she was cut when she got too close. There was a young child in the apartment who wasn’t harmed.

 

Jeter was charged with assault in the second degree, risk of injury to a child and breach of peace. Police also arrested Watson – charging her with breach of peace. She was issued a summons to court.

Gray issues stern warning to challenger Sippio-Cook in advance of Sept. 18th UBF title bout

WORCESTER, Mass. (Aug. 27th, 2015) – Austin, Tex., junior middleweight Kenton Sippio-Cook thinks Khiary Gray should’ve done his homework before agreeing to fight him Friday, Sept. 18th, 2015 at Twin River Casino.

“Somebody in Khiary’s team either got lazy with their work in finding an opponent, or really just doesn’t care about Khiary,” Sippio-Cook said. “It’s as simple as that.”

Gray (8-0, 6 KOs), speaking publicly for the first time at Wednesday’s press conference at Rocky’s Sports Bar in his hometown of Worcester, Mass., insists this is no last-minute cram session as he prepares to lock horns with Sippio-Cook (6-2, 4 KOs) for the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) Northeast Junior Middleweight Title in the six-round co-feature of “Mayhem,” presented by CES Boxing.

“I don’t care what he says. He’s going to feel a left hook, body, or head. After that, he’s just going out,” Gray said. “I’m excited for it. I’ve been waiting for it.”

This will be Gray’s first six-round fight, whereas Sippio-Cook has boxed six full rounds three times already and recently went the distance with Wes Capper in a scheduled eight-round bout in May. While Gray has been incredibly in 2015, having already fought five times, none of those fights went past the first round as Gray knocked out each opponent, raising questions as to whether or not he’ll have the stamina to fight six full rounds, if it lasts that long.

Gray, however, insists it’s no issue, referencing his second pro fight last September in which he boxed four full rounds with the game Sergio Cabrera, a fight he won unanimously on the scorecards.

“I could’ve went six or eight rounds,” Gray said. “I’ve sparred 10, 13 rounds before. This is going to be no different.”

This fight also represents Gray’s toughest opponent to date. Though he’s coming off a pair of losses, the 24-year-old Sippio-Cook has stepped up the level of competition in recent fights; his last three opponents have a combined 22-3 record.

The showdown between Gray and Sippio-Cook is one of two title fights on the card, which also includes the 10-round main event between Rhode Islanders Rich Gingras (15-4-1, 9 KOs) of Lincoln, the reigning New England Light Heavyweight champion, and unbeaten challenger Angel Camacho Jr. (14-0, 4 KOs) of Providence.

Tickets for “Mayhem” are priced at $40.00, $100.00 and $125.00 (VIP) and available for purchase online at www.cesboxing.com or www.twinriver.com, by phone at 401-724-2253/2254 or at the Twin River Players Club. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

The undercard features several new faces, highlighted by Stoughton, Mass., junior welterweight Travis Demko (3-0, 1 KO), who makes his Rhode Island debut against Mohamed Allam (1-0) of Holyoke, Mass., followed by Worcester junior middleweight Andy Gonzalez (1-0, 1 KO), who battles 6-foot-4 southpaw Antonio Allen of Philadelphia in Allen’s debut. Both are four-round bouts.

New London, Conn., heavyweight and Peter Manfredo Sr. protégé Cassius Chaney (3-0, 2 KOs), a former two-time amateur national champion, and Bronx, N.Y., light heavyweight “Fly” Mike Marshall (1-0, 1 KO), also make their Rhode Island and Twin River debuts in separate four-round bouts.

Cranston, R.I., junior middleweight Jon Smith (2-0, 1 KO) ends a two-year layoff in a four-round bout against Rodrigo Almeida (1-2) of Woburn, Mass., and Framingham, Mass., junior welterweight Julio Perez (1-0) returns to face newcomer Pedro Martinez Jr. of Mooresville, N.C., in a four-round bout.

POLICE RAID NETS $22K & COCAINE FROM

A CONVICTED MURDERER’S HOUSE

 

New Haven |A morning raid by Officers from the New Haven Police Department’s Narcotics Enforcement Unit yielded greater results than originally thought.

 

With a warrant in hand, plain-clothed Officers hit the door at 147 Lamberton Street at about 10:30 AM. They were looking for drugs and any money garnered from the illegal operation.

 

Officer Vincent Ovchar authored the search and seizure warrant after he and colleagues investigated the drug house. The target of the warrant was Willie “Chill” Harris Jr (9-28-1971), of that address. His prior address was the Cheshire Correctional Facility where he served fourteen years after being convicted of murder in 1993.

 

Officer Ovchar had the expert assistance of Officers Jenna Davis, Mike Fumiatti and Tommy Glynn. The Unit boss, Sergeant Wayne Bullock had great praise for the Officers. “They were dedicated to this case. No one knew how much we’d get out of it but never the less, they investigated with vitality and enthusiasm”, he said.

 

The raid turned up $22,906.00 in cash and a hundred grams of powder and crack cocaine. The single-family home was outfitted with a camera surveillance system and a scanner dedicated to the NHPD frequency assigned for that area of the city.

 

After Harris’ arrest, detectives from the department’s Robbery & Burglary Unit got roped into the case. Narcotics Officers uncovered a small warehouse of potentially tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of suspect stolen electronics, power tools, beer and other bulk items. “It was as if he was operating his own Wal-Mart”, exclaimed Officer Tommy Glynn. “There were everything from packaged flat screen TVs to laundry detergent”, he said.

 

At this time, the house is being held while Detectives prepare the second warrant.

 

Harris was arrested and charged with possession of narcotics with the intent to sell within 1500’ of a school, possession of a controlled substance and operating a drug factory.

Chilemba Makes Crucial Decision:
Opts to Pursue WBC Mandatory Position

Totowa, NJ:          Isaac "Golden Boy" Chilemba (24-2-2, 10 KOs) was faced with a difficult decision regarding his future in the light heavyweight division. He received offers from two major sanctioning organizations to fight for mandatory positions. The first offer came from the IBF against Artur Beterbiev and the other from the WBC against Andrzej Fonfara. Although Fonfara may be unavailable to participate, Chilemba, the 28 year-old from Malawi, decided to stick with his plan to pursue WBC Light Heavyweight Champion Adonis Stevenson and forego the IBF offer.
Isaac has already earned the number one position in the WBC's light heavyweight rankings. He won his last four contests in a row, including defeating previously unbeaten Vasily "The Professor" Lepikhin via a lopsided unanimous decision victory to become the WBC's top ranked light heavyweight contender in the opening bout on the Kovalev-Pascal HBO World Championship Boxing telecast.
A grateful Chilemba said, "I'm very happy and glad that I finally got the chance that will lead to challenging Stevenson for his WBC belt. I'm more than ready for this opportunity. This is my second chance and I won't let it go by as I did against Bellew two years ago. It took me a long time to get back to my spot and this time I'll get my dream as I'm well prepared both mentally and physically. I thank God for this second chance because not a lot of people get that opportunity. I also thank my team, Jodi Solomon, my manager, who has stood by me through the ups and downs, Buddy McGirt, my trainer, for all the knowledge I am gaining from him and Main Events for taking me on and giving me the chance to prove myself."
His manager, Jodi Solomon, added, "I believe Isaac has worked hard and relentlessly to try and get this opportunity and because of that he rightly deserves it. Under the guidance of his unbelievably knowledgeable trainer, Buddy McGirt, Isaac has begun to evolve into an incredible fighter. I know Isaac will be prepared and ready for the challenge. Thanks to Main Events, it wouldn't have been possible without your support and efforts."
 
Chilemba's promoter, Kathy Duva of Main Events, believes Chilemba made the right decision, saying "I'm thrilled that Isaac is so in demand! He's worked very hard to get to this point in his career. After carefully considering our options with Isaac and Jodi, we've decided to follow our original plan and pursue the WBC mandatory position. Isaac became the WBC's number one ranked contender in March and has eagerly anticipated his opportunity to vie for the title."

REIGNING NEW ENGLAND Light Heavyweight champion Rich Gingras, left, of Lincoln, R.I., defends his title Friday, Sept. 18th, 2015 against undefeated Providence, R.I., native Angel Camacho Jr. in the 10-round main event of "Mayhem," presented by CES Boxing at Twin River Casino in Lincoln. The Gingras-Camacho Jr. showdown is one of two title fights on a stacked card featuring nine total bouts. 
Champion Gingras, challenger Camacho Jr. battle for supremacy in throwback main event

LINCOLN, R.I. (Aug. 25th, 2015) -- Many of these self-proclaimed "Fight of the Year" candidates thrown around by promoters in the modern era pale in comparison to the legendary ring wars of yesteryear, inevitably leaving fans searching for more.  
 
CES Boxing is changing the course with a throwback fight worthy of accolades in any generation.
 
The highly-anticipated Rich Gingras-Angel Camacho Jr.showdown, scheduled for Friday, Sept. 18th, 2015 at Twin River Casino, is a classic power-finesse tug-of-war with the undefeated Camacho Jr. (14-0, 4 KOs) of Providence, R.I., putting his undefeated record on the line against the hard-hitting Gingras (15-4-1, 9 KOs) of nearby Lincoln, who defends his New England Light Heavyweight title for the second time in 15 months.
 
The Gingras-Camacho Jr. 10-round main event is one of two title bouts on a stacked fight card, appropriately titled, "Mayhem," with the second one scheduled in the six-round co-feature between undefeated Worcester, Mass., junior middleweightKhiary Gray (8-0, 6 KOs) and Kenton Sippio-Cook (6-2, 4 KOs) of Austin, Tex., who battle for the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) Northeast crown.
 
"Rich Gingras, Angel Camacho, they're fearless. Neither fighter is looking to pad his record or take the easy way out. This is what boxing needs, and that is what we will deliver on Sept. 18th," CES president Jimmy Burchfield Sr. said.
 
"We've been dying to bring this fight to our fans for a long time and we're excited to count down the days. Our co-feature might even steal the show. We've watched Khiary Gray mature right in front of our eyes over the past year and now he's stepping up to fight for a title against a dangerous puncher who's equally hungry to win."
 
Tickets for "Mayhem" are priced at $40.00, $100.00 and $125.00 (VIP) and available for purchase online at www.cesboxing.com orwww.twinriver.com, by phone at 401-724-2253/2254 or at the Twin River Players Club. All fights and fighters are subject to change.
 
Gingras and Camacho Jr. were destined to cross paths ever since Gingras captured the then-vacant N.E. title with a knockout win over Jamie Velazquez in June of 2014, just a few shorts months before Camacho Jr. began his second comeback following a three-year layoff.
 
While Gingras pursued other ventures outside of boxing, Camacho Jr. quietly won a pair of tough fights against Paul Gonsalves and Chris Chatman to knock the rust off and put himself back in the conversation among New England's elite fighters.
 
Now they'll meet face-to-face for the N.E. title in a bout that could help shape the immediate future for whoever leaves the ring victorious. This will be Camacho's toughest test to date, just his third fight in the last seven years due to a pair of three-year layoffs, while the always-ready Gingras is no stranger to well-publicized regional wars, having already faced Peter Manfredo Jr.Joey McCreedy and Vladine Biosse at Twin River.
 
The undercard features several new faces, highlighted by Stoughton, Mass., junior welterweight Travis Demko (3-0, 1 KO), who makes his Rhode Island debut against Mohamed Allam (1-0) of Holyoke, Mass., followed by Worcester junior middleweight Andy Gonzalez (1-0, 1 KO), who battles 6-foot-4 southpaw Antonio Allen of Philadelphia in Allen's debut. Both are four-round bouts.
 
New London, Conn., heavyweight and Peter Manfredo Sr.protégé Cassius Chaney (3-0, 2 KOs), a former two-time amateur national champion, and Bronx, N.Y., light heavyweight "Fly" Mike Marshall (1-0, 1 KO), also make their Rhode Island and Twin River debuts in separate four-round bouts.
 
Cranston, R.I., junior middleweight Jon Smith (2-0, 1 KO) ends a two-year layoff in a four-round bout against Rodrigo Almeida(1-2) of Woburn, Mass., and Framingham, Mass., junior welterweight Julio Perez (1-0) returns to face newcomer Pedro Martinez Jr. of Mooresville, N.C., in a four-round bout.

24 August, 2015 – DRIVER FLEES AFTER STRIKING PEDESTRIAN

 

At 7:21 PM, Officers and Firefighters responded to Orange and Bradley Streets after a pedestrian was struck by a black Honda Accord. The victim is twenty-nine year old Joseph Tyman of New Haven. Tyman remains in critical condition – having suffered severe internal injuries and breaks to all four limbs.

 

The operator had fled the scene but phoned 911 telling the operator she was the offending driver and was at 33 Humphrey street. The caller was Stanesha Hallett (6-11-1988), of 277 Munson Street in New Haven.

Displaying HALLETT,STANESHA.JPG

 

According to the report, Hallett told Officers she had drank two “Natty Ice” malt beverages before the crash. Investigators found an empty can of Natural Ice beer on the floor of the car.

 

Hallett was arrested and based on evidence, her own admission and the results of sobriety tests, was charged with DUI (Driving Under the Influence of drugs or alcohol), reckless driving, evading responsibility and assault in the second degree with a motor vehicle. Her BAC (Blood alcohol Content) was first measured at .1707, more than twice the leagal limit.

 

Since last evening, the victim’s condition has not been updated from critical.

 

 

 

24 August, 2015 – SHOOTING INVESTIGATION

 

At 10:36 PM, Officers were dispatched to 40/42 Read Street regarding a shooting.

 

Twenty-four year old Brittany Covington had been shot in her ankle. The injury is very minor. The victim said she was alone on her porch when she heard gunfire. She said she neither saw who had fired the shots or where they came from. She said no one was with her.

 

While at the scene, Officers were told a woman walked into Yale New Haven Hospital at 1450 chapel Street claiming to have been shot. Initially, Doctors didn’t think the wound was from a bullet. It was a small abrasion. Eventually they determined it was. The victim, twenty-one year old Emonie Dent said she was with Covington on the porch when she heard the gunfire. She said she felt pain in her back and went to the hospital.

 

A witness said she was on the porch with the two victims when she heard the shots. Others said there were as many as fifteen people on the porch when gunfire was heard. Some reported the group was all female but that men had been there earlier.

 

Detectives are investigating this case. No shooter description was provided.

New Haven – City officials today announced a planned two-week closure of the Grand Avenue Bridge beginning Monday, August 17th. The closure is to allow for preventative maintenance and routine repairs.

 

The scheduled work will consist of replacing linkages and mechanical components related to the wedge-type locking system that fixes the bridge into place, allowing for the safe crossing of vehicular traffic. City officials say these components must be replaced periodically to prevent failure, which would then require a much longer closure and resulting inconvenience.

 

The Grand Avenue Bridge will remain open to pedestrian traffic throughout the planned repairs, scheduled to be completed by Friday, August 28th.

 

The city’s Department of Transportation, Traffic, and Parking is working to coordinate traffic signals along alternate routes (map attached) and the New Haven Police Department is planning to have a uniform presence in the area to help alleviate any traffic congestion that may develop.
