A 21-year-old suspected gang member accused of murdering a man in Hartford over the summer has been taken into custody in Florida, according to police.
Michael Pryce was arrested Sunday in Margate, Florida, after getting into a fight with his mother, police said. Pryce, who may be a member of the Bloods gang, is accused of fatally shooting 34-year-old Huberto O’Neil in Hartford near South Green Park on June 14.
Police said Pryce gave Florida officers a fake name, but authorities took him into custody after learning his true identity. Pryce is being held on a $300,000 judge-set bond and will be extradited to Connecticut to be charged with murder.
Hartford police said he has been previously arrested on Babcock Street, Edgewood Street and Thomaston Street in the city.
