A man was arrested Thursday in
connection to a fatal March shooting in Bridgeport.
Eric Ayala, 22, who is already
behind bars on unrelated charges, is being held under a $1 million bond in
connection with the killing of Greg Ingram.
Ingram, 33, was shot and killed
near Seaview Avenue back in March of 2021.
The beloved local resident is
remembered as a hardworking father of five children.
The community came together to send
a message to Ingram's family this morning, telling News 12 they're happy
justice is being served.
"One thing we need to do is we
need to just put these guns down," said Lakesha Stines. "There's too
much going on. We have to worry about coronavirus and other
problems. People are dying all over the world and the last thing we need is
someone to come and take a life for no reason -- when we're already out here
dying, and trying to survive already."
In addition to conspiracy to commit
murder, Ayala is also facing a charge of criminal possession of a firearm.
Ayala will be arraigned Friday.
