ANSONIA — Police announced the arrest of a second suspect in connection to the murder of a 20-year-old man last year.
Ansonia resident Errol Salkey, 18, was charged Thursday (April 6) with murder, first-degree attempted robbery, and first-degree conspiracy to commit robbery.
The charges are connected to the fatal shooting on Stratford resident Johnny Class the afternoon of April 5, 2022 on Hubbell Avenue.
Class was a passenger in a Honda Civic on Hubbell Avenue at about 1 p.m. April 5 when a person fired into the car at close range, striking Class.
