New Haven, Conn. (WTNH) - The suspect in a May 2010 homicide was already sitting behind bars for another New Haven shooting.
After a lengthy investigation, officers were able to identify 24-year-old Jermaine Harris as their suspect in the May 2010 homicide of Edmund Jackson. However, when they filed their arrest warrant, officers determined Harris was already incarcerated.
Harris was awaiting a trail after he was arrested for the Sept. 16, 2011 shooting on Hamilton Street in New Haven. The victim in the incident, 26-year-old Marvin Harris, was shot several times in the torso. Harris was arrested later that same day.
Police say Harris shot Jackson while he was in an SUV parked near Humphrey's Bar over a year before the Hamilton Street shooting. The death of 25-year-old Jackson marked the city's 12th homicide of 2010.
Police say Harris will be charged with murder, criminal use of a firearm, criminal possession of a pistol and carrying a pistol without a permit. He is being held on a $ 1 million dollar court set bond.
In both incidents, police believed the victims knew their shooter and both victims were known criminals.
