Police have arrested a suspect in a 2011 murder in New Haven.
Albert C. Jenkins was found outside Poor John’s Pub at Middletown Avenue and Cranston Street early on the morning of May 2, 2011. He’d been shot in the face and chest and was rushed to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where he died a short time later, according to police.
After a four-year investigation, police secured an arrest warrant charging a convicted felon, Robert L. “Desperado” Gallishaw, 33, with murder, criminal possession of a firearm and carrying a pistol without a permit.
He has several prior convictions for narcotics and assault crimes and was convicted on a federal firearms charge stemming from an ATF investigation, police said.
New Haven Police and members of the US Marshals Task Force took Gallishaw into custody on Wednesday and he is being held on a $1 million bond.
Police will hold a news conference on Monday, June 1 about the arrest.
