A pair of Air Jordans, a shirt from Footlocker, Southpole shorts — and blood.
That’s what police seized from stabbing suspect Stephan Coney, 19, when police entered his Atwater Avenue residence July 9, according to documents on file in Superior Court in Derby.
Coney, who flashed a bright smile in his police mug shot, is a suspect in two recent stabbings on Hawkins Street.
The arrest warrants in the case are sealed. They could be made available to the public next week, according to the court clerk’s office.
But the list of property seized by Derby police indicate detectives have a bevy of physical evidence — including a knife — against Coney in connection to the July 8 stabbing of an Ansonia man in the parking lot at Over the Hill Tavern at 131 Hawkins St.
According to Derby police, the man, who was not a patron at the bar, was stabbed several times at about 1 a.m. He then entered the bar, asking for help. He survived.
Police said Coney knew the victim.
Police served a warrant on Coney the next evening.
Among the property seized:
- Air Jordan sneakers with blood splatter
- a silver knife blade and handle
- a bag containing the bloody clothing of the victim
- a blood droplet from the bathroom
- a pair of black shorts
- a red Footlocker shirt
- one pair of Southpole shorts
- a white tank top
Ten days after being charged with the stabbing in the Over the Hill stabbing, Coney was charged in connection to the May 19 stabbing of a 19-year-old man on Hawkins near Cottage Street. That victim also survived.
No paperwork, other than the charges, were in that court file Tuesday.
Coney is charged with first-degree assault, a felony, and second-degree threatening, a misdemeanor, in connection to the July stabbing.
He is charged with first-degree reckless endangerment and second-degree threatening in connection to the May stabbing.
Coney is being held in jail in Bridgeport on a $150,000 bail. His next court date is July 27 in Derby.
However, the cases may be transferred to Superior Court in Milford, where more serious crimes are heard.
