Authorities in Bridgeport have charged a second suspect in the beating and asthma-related death of a man back in April.
Twenty-year-old Latrel Baker has been charged with first-degree manslaughter in the death of 26-year-old Victor Diaz.
Bridgeport police said Diaz was attacked by a group of people at Dewhirst Street and Baker Street on April 30. He suffered an asthma attack during the assault and died at the hospital three days later.
An autopsy determined that his death was directly related to the assault and was ruled a homicide.
Baker is being held on a $150,000 bond.
