Two men are facing murder charges in connection to the shooting death of a 17-year-old in Waterbury last month, police said.
The teen, identified as Maki Mazon, was seriously hurt after being shot on July 31. He was pronounced dead over a week later, according to authorities.
Officers said they were called to the area of Newport Drive on a shots fired complaint at about 8 p.m. Police found a teen with gunshot wounds to the chest.
Last week, detectives located a suspect, identified as 23-year-old James Davis of Bridgeport, and arrested him in connection to the homicide. He faces charges including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, first-degree assault and various firearm-related charges. Police said he was also served a warrant for his involvement in a past shots fired incident and is being held on a $3.5 million bond.
