WATERBURY, Conn. — A crash in January is now being investigated as a homicide, with an 18-year-old charged as a suspect, Waterbury police said. 

On Jan. 30, police were called to the parking lot at Bertie's Restaurant in the city, located on North Main Street after a report of a crash. When they got to the restaurant, they learned that the vehicle had driven through the parking lot and backyard area of a nearby home, where it hit several objects before stopping. 

The driver of the vehicle, 38-year-old Waterbury resident Keno Williams, had been shot in the back of his head, according to police. The first responders rushed Williams to St. Mary's Hospital for treatment.
