BO-BO IN CUSTODY

FROM HPD:

At 1258 am, during the busy bar closing period,  HPD Officers working in the downtown area heard a single gunshot. It was determined that the shot was fired from the area of Church St. and High St. Officers located the victim at the corner of High St. and Allen St. The victim, a 21 year old male from East Hartford, was transported to St. Francis Hospital and pronounced at 0215 am. Preliminary information is that the incident began as a disturbance within the “Up  or On the Rocks” night club. After the club closed, and patrons exited, the disturbance reengaged in the street. Eventually a physical altercation ensued in the parking lot at the corner of High St. and Church St. At this location the suspect shot the victim, one time, in the chest. MCD Detectives worked tirelessly through the investigation and obtained an arrest warrant.

 

On September 3, 2013 the suspect, Angel Morales (Angel Morales-Lopez), DOB 3/28/88, of New Haven,  was arrested at the Hartford Police Department. Morales is being charged with of Murder and Criminal Possession of a Firearm, related to the murder of Miguel Delgado.
