Police have arrested a second suspect in the death of a man found in a driveway in Waterbury on New Year's Day.
Joseph Pape, 20, the brother of another suspect Jonathan Pape, was arrested in connection to homicide of 50-year-old Donald Curtis, police said.
Pape was charged with felony murder, first-degree robbery, conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery, second-degree larceny and second-degree conspiracy to commit larceny.
Investigators previously said his brother, Johnathan Pape, 22, physically attacked and robbed the victim, Curtis, as he walked home from a nearby store around 5 a.m. on Thursday.
Curtis' body was found in a driveway at 34 Mitchell Avenue Thursday morning. The medical examiner ruled Curtis died of blunt force trauma to the head and chest.
Jonathan Pape admitted to punching Curtis, knocking him to the ground and then kicking him in the head during the robbery, according to police.
Officers executed a search warrant at Jonathan Pape's home at 23 Fairview Street and seized evidence connecting Pape to the crime, police said.
Jonathan Pape appeared in Waterbury Superior Court on Friday facing identical charges of felony murder, first-degree robbery, conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery, second-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit second-degree larceny.
Both are being held on a $1 million bond.
Police said they expect to make more arrests.
