Hamden Man Robbed Victim, Shot Him in the Eye: Police

Police have arrested the man accused of robbing and shooting a victim in the eye in New Haven last week.

Robert Miller, 29, was arrested Thursday in connection with the Dec. 7 incident. Police said he shot a 28-year-old Hamden resident during an apparent robbery in the area of Osborn Avenue and Goffe Street shortly late that night.

The victim told investigators the criminal stole his money, then pulled him from his car and shot him in the face. He said the suspect stole his car, a white four-door Nissan Altima, which police found shortly thereafter.

Miller has been charged with first-degree assault and weapons charges, along with other violations. It's not clear if he has also been charged in the car robbery.
