3rd Arrest Made in Danbury October Shooting

DANBURY, CT — Danbury police have made another arrest in the Oct. 29 shooting of a 22-year-old man who was wounded by a gunshot to the groin.

Police said Manuela Aleman, 19, was taken into custody Tuesday around 8:15 p.m. as the result of an investigation by the detectives of the General Investigations Division and an active arrest warrant.

The late-October shooting, which took place outside of a residence on School Ridge Road, had previously led to the arrests of Alexander Chadee-Sierra, 19, and Brandon Gonzalez, 18.

Aleman, police said, was the person who drove Chadee-Sierra from the scene of the shooting.

At the time of the shooting, the victim was visiting friends at the location. There were several people in the apartment, including a 4-year-old boy who had been standing just inside the doorway.
