Woman Shot In Head, Man Arrested: Woodbridge Police

WOODBRIDGE, CT — A man has been arrested in connection with a shooting that injured a woman Thursday night in Woodbridge, according to police.

Police responded to a home on Raymond Street around 7:50 p.m. on the report of a shooting.

Arriving officers found a woman and her infant child outside the home, according to Woodbridge Police Chief Frank P. Cappiello.

Cappiello said the woman, who was suffering from a gunshot wound to the head, and the infant, who was uninjured, were taken away from the property.

“It was determined that the suspect responsible was still inside the home and refusing to exit,” Cappiello wrote in a news release. “However, after a short time, and with the assistance provided by personnel from the CT State Police, the New Haven Police Department, and the Seymour Police Department, the suspect exited the home and was taken into custody.”

Cappiello said the victim was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital for treatment, and her injuries were deemed to be non-life-threatening.

Raymond Sosa, 49, of Woodbridge, was arrested and charged with second-degree assault, risk of injury to a minor, criminal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, illegal possession of a large capacity magazine, and negligent storage of a firearm. He was held in lieu of a $100,000 bond and was scheduled to appear in court on Friday morning.

“This was an isolated incident, and although the investigation is ongoing, there is no threat to the public,” Cappiello said.
