New Britain police arrest suspects in September homicide – NBC Connecticut

New Britain Police said they have arrested suspects in the death of a 26-year-old man in September.

Dante Sprouse, of New Britain, was killed the morning of September 12 on Kelsey Street.

Police said officers responded to reports of a burglary and learned there had been an accident that led to a disturbance in which shots were fired, killing Sprouse.

The shooting happened around school time, and Smith Elementary School and the Roosevelt Early Learning Center were in a shelter-in-place due to the proximity.

Investigators obtained felony warrants for Jayden Hayes, 18, of Bristol, and Angel Del Rio Clemente, 22, of New Britain, and they were arrested last month.

Police also obtained a warrant charging a 29-year-old Hartford man with first-degree burglary in connection with the original burglary.
