West Haven police on Wednesday identified the 2-year-old victim of a double deadly stabbing from the weekend as Ta’naj Fletcher. It came one day after his father, Jevon Fletcher, was arraigned in the deaths of his son and his 19-year-old girlfriend Hailey Miller.

Jevon Fletcher, 26, of New Haven, is charged with two counts of murder, two counts of murder with special circumstances and one count of risk of injury to a minor. He appeared via video in Milford Superior Court Tuesday, where Judge Auden Grogins called the allegations “as serious as you can get.”

West Haven police responded to an apartment on Meloy Road Saturday just before 9 p.m. after calls from neighbors reporting a woman screaming for help. They found Miller and Ta'naj Fletcher stabbed to death. Police said after the murder, Jevon Fletcher jumped out of a second-floor window, injuring himself. Police took him to the hospital, where he remained until his arraignment.

Miller had a young son of her own, who wasn't there that night. Family members started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for the toddler's future, as well as Miller's funeral. They described her as “a hard-working mother, always looking to further her education/career. She was dedicated to giving her son the best life possible, a life filled with love and care. Hailey's bright spirit, kindness, and unwavering love for her child touched everyone who knew her."

A GoFundMe has also been organized to cover Ta’naj Fletcher’s funeral expenses. “Ta’naj was a bright light in our lives full of laughter, energy, and an infectious joy that could lift anyone’s spirits. He was a child who loved to play, dance, and explore the world with pure innocence and excitement. His smile could light up a room, and his giggles were the sweetest music to our ears,” family wrote.

The details of what led to the violence aren’t known. The judge agreed to a request from the prosecution to seal all police reports in the case until Jevon Fletcher’s next hearing. Grogins also ordered Fletcher to have no contact with any member of the victims’ families or any potential witness.

In court, the bail commissioner said Jevon Fletcher has a conviction from February 2024 for breach of peace in a domestic violence incident involving a different victim. He received a six-month suspended sentence.

Grogins set Jevon Fletcher's bond at $3 million.

Most family members had no comment as they left the courthouse after the arraignment. A cousin of Miller’s said she just wanted people to know “how sweet Hailey was.” Another person said he wanted justice for Ta'naj.

Jevon Fletcher is due back in court March 13.
