NEW BRITAIN, Conn — A man who was arrested in Pennsylvania on a murder charge will appear in court after being extradited on Monday, officials said.
New Britain Deputy Police Chief Adam Rembisz said Vincent Blair, 46 of Hartford, was transported from Pennsylvania to New Britain by members of the New Britain Criminal Investigations Division. Blair was arrested and charged with Murder in the death of Moenisha Collins, 27. Blair is being held on a $5 million bond and expected to be arraigned Tuesday at the Superior Court in New Britain.
On Dec. 3, an officer was in the area of Fairview Street around 4:10 p.m. and was made aware of a group seeking help from police. The officer learned that a family was in the area to check on a relative when they found her unresponsive inside an apartment.
The relative said Collins was found dead by police with multiple gunshot wounds, Rembisz said.
Additional police officers responded to assist in the investigation, along with the New Britain State's Attorney's office and Connecticut State Police.
