Cajigas has been incarcerated since October 26, 2021, for two other shooting incidents in Hartford, including a separate homicide.

In February, while incarcerated, Cajigas was served a warrant in connection to a homicide on Spring Street that took the life of 53-year-old Cathy Hayes on October 25, 2021. He was also charged with murder in that incident and faced a $2 million bond.

He is also the same suspect that approached a female police officer in her cruiser and fired a gunshot through the window. He was arrested in connection to this incident the day after the Spring Street shooting.
