Updated: New London Police Make Arrest in Tuesday Shooting
Police said the investigation is continuing.
A 36-year-old Norwich man was arrested Tuesday in connection with a shooting earlier in the day on Williams Street. Police were able to locate the suspect because he was wearing an ankle monitoring device from a previous conviction.
The shooting — in which no one was injured — happened at 3:42 p.m., Tuesday at 424 Williams St., according to a release from Deputy Chief Peter G. Reichard. A number of 911 calls reported two males were involved. Police recovered a .45 caliber shell casing at the scene.
According to a release sent Wednesday morning by Reichard, the investigation yielded the name of a "firm suspect" and police worked with the probation department to find Jamel McIntosh at 9 Buell Place "after an extensive search of surrounding homes and yards."
McIntosh, of 84 Sandy Lane, Norwich, was charged with:
- first-degree criminal attempt at assault
- criminal possession of a firearm
- altering a serial number on a firearm
- first-degree reckless endangerment
- unlawful discharge of a firearm
- use of a firearm in the commission of a felony
- carrying a pistol without a permit
He is being held on $150,000 bond.
