A teenager has been arrested in connection to the death of a man found shot inside of a car in Bridgeport earlier this summer.
Dispatchers received multiple 911 calls about gunfire and a man bleeding inside of a car on Catherine Street around 6:45 p.m. on July 27.
Responding officers said they found 18-year-old Leon Richardson in the driver’s seat of a Honda with a head wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators said a 17-year-old male from Bridgeport turned himself into homicide detectives at police headquarters on Friday. He is facing charges including murder and carrying a pistol without a permit. He is scheduled to go before a judge in juvenile court on Monday.
Due to the murder charge, authorities said the case is expected to be transferred to adult court, where he will receive a bond.
Officers said the homicide happened midway between Washington Avenue and Harral Avenue on Catherine Street.
According to police, Catherine Street is two blocks from the Greene Homes public housing complex. Detectives said they believe the homicide is connected to the complex as the 17-year-old who was arrested is a former resident of the Greene Homes.
Richardson’s death marks the fifth homicide of the year in Bridgeport.
The investigation is active and ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Thomas Harper at (203) 581-5239 or the Bridgeport Police Tips Line at (203) 576-TIPS.
