Police have made multiple arrests in a shooting that killed a young man and injured a teenager in Middletown earlier this year.
Tylon Hardy, 25, was killed when an altercation led to a shooting in the area of Highlands Crescent and Stirling Court on May 16. A 17-year-old was also injured in the shooting.
Police previously identified 20-year-old Matthew O'Banner as a suspect. Earlier this month, he was arrested as a fugitive from justice in New Jersey. He has been extricated to Connecticut and was arraigned Tuesday on charges of murder, first-degree assault, reckless endangerment, and unlawful discharge of a firearm. He was held on a $2 million bond.
On June 3, Middletown police arrested another suspect, 21-year-old Nahkyn Durazzo, who they say was present and involved in the shooting. He was charged with violation of probation and held on a $75,000 bond.
