HARTFORD, Conn. — Police have arrested a suspect in connection with the February murder of Christian Feliciano.
Feliciano was killed on February 17 on Franklin Avenue in what police said was an ambush.
Hartford Police said Feliciano was found on the sidewalk with several gunshot wounds. He died on the scene. Police said the attackers took off in a vehicle after the shooting.
Leonard Laboy, 23, of Hartford, was arrested Monday morning and taken to Hartford Police Department Headquarters. Laboy was charged with Murder, Conspiracy, and Criminal Possession of a Firearm. He is being held on a $1 million bond.
Feliciano’s death was the fourth homicide of the year in Hartford.
Friends and family remembered Feliciano in February at a vigil.
"He always had us laughing," Marilyn Quinones, the victim’s aunt said. "He was a funny kid. He really was and he’s going to be missed."
The Hartford Police Department’s Fugitive Task Force, with assistance from the U.S. Marshal’s Violent Fugitive Task Force, apprehended Laboy.
