Love Triangle Between Suspect, Victim and Possibly Pregnant Woman Led to Danbury Murder, Prosecutor Says: Report

DANBURY, CT — A love triangle involving the suspect and the victim of a murder outside of the Mambo Cafe in May of 2014 was tied to the killing by a prosecutor Thursday, reports the News Times.

In court Thursday, Senior Assistant State's Attorney Jason Germain cited phone calls that Garfield Sanderson made in jail which point to a woman who may have been pregnant and was in a love triangle with Sanderson and the victim, 23-year-old Jeiel Kingston of Bridgeport. Germain also definitively told the judge that gang activity was a possible motive in the case.

Sanderson is accused of shooting Kingston outside of the Mambo Cafe in 2014. Police had responded to the club for a fight, and found Kingston laying on the ground on White Street with wounds in his chest after hearing the gunshots.

Sanderson was arrested one week later, and his trial is set to begin next week.
