On Sunday, March 22, 2020, Trumbull police arrested a Milford man on an outstanding warrant for stealing a gold necklace worth almost $12,000 from a jewelry store at the Westfield Trumbull Mall in September 2019.
Brandon McLaughlin, age 25, of New Haven Avenue, Milford was posing as a potential costumer at Kay Jewelers, where he asked an employee to look at a 24 inch 10kt gold rope chain. As soon as the employee took the chain out of the display case McLaughlin grabbed it from their hands and ran off. No one was injured during the incident.
Prior to McLaughlin trying on the necklace, he tried on watches from various display cases that he had touched while posing as a customer. Trumbull police detectives responded to the scene to investigate when they located and collected a variety of evidence, including fingerprints that were left on the display cases. The recovered fingerprints were submitted to the Connecticut State Forensic Laboratory for analysis and it was later determined that the prints were left by McLaughlin.
Based on the forensic identification, McLaughlin was charged with Larceny 2 nd Degree. He was held on a $30,000.00 court set bond for the warrant and is scheduled to appear in court on March 30, 2020.

On March 22, 2020 at around 11:00p.m the patrol division received a report that two children age 4 and 5 were not returned to their mother after a weekend visitation with their father, in violation of a custody agreement. The children were supposed to be returned at 8p.m that evening. The caller received text messages from the children’s father, Yimi Moncada, at around 8p.m saying that he would bring them home, but never showed.
Officers made contact with Yimi’s mother who saw the children at around 7:40p.m when Yimi supposedly brought them to their mothers. Officers placed telephone calls to Yimi, whose phone went directly to voicemail. At that time there was no additional information to believe the children were in harm, nor were any other locations given for officers to check. Officers placed Gesselle, Jesus, Yimi, and the vehicle in a national database in an attempt to locate them.
On March 23, 2020, at 7:35am Patrol Division Officers responded to a 911 call at 8 Elizabeth Street. Arriving officers found 3 deceased persons in a detached garage. The victims were identified as Gesselle Moncada (age 5), Jesus Moncada (age 4), and Yimi Moncada (age 27). The children are siblings and Yimi is their father. All three were found hanging in the garage, which is owned by a relative of Yimi Moncada.
The Detective Bureau has assumed this investigation and the scene was processed by the Crime Scene Unit. Thus far this case is classified as a double-murder suicide with the children being the murder victims. The deceased were brought to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for autopsy.
On March 24, 2020, Detectives received the autopsy report indicating Yimi Moncada died by hanging/suicide, and both children died by ligature compression of the neck/homicide. This incident is still under investigation by the Detective Bureau.

Connecticut Insurance Department Commissioner Andrew N. Mais has called on insurers to immediately institute a grace period for insurance premium payments in light of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The emergency public health measures have contributed to a loss of income for both consumers and businesses,” said Commissioner Mais. “It is imperative that we all work to maintain the security that insurance provides when consumers need it most.”
In Bulletin IC-40 released today, the Connecticut Insurance Department is requesting that all admitted and nonadmitted insurance companies that offer any insurance coverage in Connecticut — including, life, health, auto, property, casualty and other types of insurance —immediately provide consumers with at least a 60-day grace period without interest or penalty to pay their insurance premiums. Institutions that receive regular payments from insurance companies are encouraged to offer insurance companies the same forbearance those companies are offering their consumers.
“A grace period will allow policyholders who may need help due to circumstances beyond their control additional time to pay and avoid a coverage lapse or cancellation,” said Commissioner Mais.
This requested grace period is intended to be applied to premiums due after the initial premium has been paid to secure coverage. It is not intended to change the terms of the issued policy or be considered a forgiveness of the premium.
In addition, the Insurance Department asked insurers to take steps to include consumer-friendly and convenient methods of payment, such as online options, to eliminate the need for in-person office visits and better protect the safety of workers and customers.
Insurers, brokers, and agents with questions on Bulletin IC-40 can contact the department directly by email at cid.pc@ct.gov.
