Bridgeport News: Arrest Made In August Homicide

#Bridgeport – The Bridgeport Police Department today announced an arrest was made in the August 27, 2016 murder of Shane Slinsky.  An arrest warrant was served on Jeremy Middleton (DOB: 4/17/98 of Stamford, CT), charging him with his role in the August 27, 2016 murder of Shane Slinsky.  The evidence revealed that the victim, Shane Slinsky was brought to Bridgeport from Stamford by three men that he believed were his friends.  Their true intention was to rob him.  When they stopped in front of 21 Wood Terrace, Slinsky was shot and killed. Members of the Bridgeport Detective Bureau worked closely with members of the Stamford Police Department to resolve this case. Middleton is charged with Felony Murder, Conspiracy to Commit Robbery in the First Degree, and Larceny in the Third Degree. He is being held on a $500,000 bond and additional arrests are expected in this case.

Governor Wants Train Investments

#HARTFORD, CT– Governor Dannel P. Malloy is urging the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to table consideration of any new alignment of tracks on the Northeast Corridor (NEC) through Connecticut and instead focus its investments – which he says are long overdue – on maintaining the corridor in a “state of good repair.”

 

In a letter delivered to the FRA, Governor Malloy says that that the State of Connecticut will support the agency’s impending Record of Decision – the next step in the program that will spell out investment priorities for the rail corridor – on the premise that it will:

 

  • Identify specific investments that will achieve a state of good repair and enhance performance of the NEC;
  • Eliminate any specific  “alternative alignments”;
  • Has the support of all appropriate U.S. Department of Transportation agencies, not just the FRA; and
  • Articulates a simplified environmental approval process for critical projects.

 

The Governor is also urging the FRA to expedite approval of the many projects already in progress so there is no doubt that these near-term investments can proceed without delay.  Further, he is recommending that the Northeast Corridor Commission lead the development of a service development plan partnering with all states in the corridor, as well as AMTRAK, the FRA and the Federal Transit Administration.
