Fire Safety Failures Prompt Evacuation at St. Joseph’s Center

[May 16, 2025] — St. Joseph’s Center, a skilled nursing facility has been placed under emergency evacuation of all 107 patients due to critical failures identified in the building’s fire life safety systems.

During ongoing safety assessments, facility leadership—working in conjunction with fire safety experts and local authorities—identified serious deficiencies that present conditions classified as Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH). These failures compromise the building’s ability to ensure the protection of residents and staff in the event of a fire or related emergency.

The evacuation is being carried out with full coordination with State and local agencies, and partnering healthcare facilities to ensure continuity of care and minimize disruption to residents. Families of residents are in progress of being notified by nursing home staff, and updates will continue to be provided as relocation efforts progress.

Further updates will be provided as they become available

Trumbull firefighters were called to Trumbull High School at 72 Strobel Avenue for glycol that escaped from the roof heating/cooling system to the floors below. Those attending evening activities were evacuated. The Department of Energy & Environmental Protection was notified. Glycol is used in air conditioning and HVAC systems as an antifreeze and heat transfer fluid, particularly in closed-loop systems where exposure to freezing temperatures is a concern. It prevents water in the system from freezing, which could damage pipes and components

Norwalk Man Charged with Murder After Fatal Assault at Trumbull Apartment Complex

On Monday, April twenty-eighth, two thousand twenty-five, Trumbull Police responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a man violently attacking a woman outside the main office of the Ten Trumbull apartment complex on Oakview Drive. Officers arrived to find a woman with serious injuries lying on the ground, and the suspect, identified as Ylli Shtopaku, forty-five years old, still at the scene. Witnesses reported that Shtopaku confronted several women he knew outside the complex, and after a brief verbal exchange, retrieved a bat from his vehicle and struck one of them during a chase.

The victim, identified as Lida Shape, seventy years old, a resident of the apartment complex, was transported to Saint Vincent’s Medical Center where she later succumbed to her injuries. Police determined that Shape was specifically targeted during the attack, which was domestic in nature. Shtopaku and the victim were previously related through marriage but had no current familial ties. Although initially identified as a Monroe resident, it was later confirmed that Shtopaku resides on South Street in Norwalk.

Shtopaku has been formally charged with Murder and is currently being held on a three-million-dollar bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Bridgeport Superior Court.
