Milford Home Invasion Suspect Claims Police Have Wrong Person
A man charged in a Milford home invasion and robbery claims police have the wrong man, according to his lawyer.
MILFORD, CT — A man charged with kidnapping and robbing a Naugatuck Avenue resident claimed that police have the wrong person, according to his attorney.
Shane Gordon, 25, turned himself in last week. His lawyer, William Gerace, said his client is adamant he wasn't involved, according to the Milford Mirror.
Gordon and another suspect, Jahsim Trotman, 25, robbed a man of a $45,000 Rolex and other valuable after posting as Amazon delivery drivers, according to an arrest warrant. They overpowered the victim and Trotman told Gordon to shoot the man, but the gun didn't fire because there wasn't a bullet in the chamber.
