NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A 32-year-old West Haven woman has been found guilty of murder in the death of another woman in March 2021.
On Tuesday, Brianna Triplett, 32, of West Haven, was found guilty by a New Haven Superior Court jury.
Triplett was convicted in the shooting death of Dwaneia Alexandria Turner, 28, of New Haven, on March 16, 2021. Turner was shot in the chest and later died at Yale-New Haven Hospital. Evidence presented at the trial showed that Triplett fatally shot the victim during an altercation.
