Man Charged With Murder in New Britain

A man has been charged with murder after police responded to a stabbing in New Britain last night.

Police said they responded to a second-floor apartment on North Street at 8:52 p.m. Monday after receiving reports of a stabbing and found a man with serious injuries. That man, who has not been publicly identified, was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Police immediately identified 41-year-old Carlos Gonzalez-Oliver as the suspect. He is a resident of the building where the victim was found, according to a news release from police.

Officers tracked him down to a motel on the Berlin Turnpike and took him into custody.

Gonzalez-Oliver was brought back to New Britain and charged with murder.

He was held on $1 million bond and will appear in court today.
