More Details Emerge on Milford Double Shooting, Robbery Attempt: It was a Parade of Bullets: Documents State

It was a parade of bullets inside the parking garage at 1 New Haven Avenue in Milford in the early morning hours of March 1.

It’s a miracle no one died as repeated gunfire was exchanged in the small confined space as six people, four victims and two suspects, were gathered together.

Court documents shed more light on what exactly happened in the early morning hours on March 1, reports the New Haven Register.

David Spencer, 22, of 4 Avon Street in Ansonia, and Rumone Richard, 23, of 268 Wayne Street in Bridgeport, were standing in front of 1 New Haven around 1:30 a.m. when four people were walking back from Eli’s Tavern on Daniel Street after a night out.

Spencer and Richard ask the four people for a cigarette and they followed them into the parking garage, court documents state.

Richard and Spencer told the four people to get on the ground and empty their pockets, the Register reports.

One of the victims tried to remove the gun from Richard, but Richard fire a shot from 10 feet away, and the bullet passed through the victim’s neck.

A second patron, who has a license to carry a gun, pulled out a firearm from his back pocket and fired four shots at Spencer, the Register reports.

Richard continued to move in the man’s director, and the victim fired two more shots this time hitting Richard and causing him to fall to the ground. By this time Spencer ran off into the night.

Richard sustained serious injuries in the shooting, and Spencer was taken into custody last week. Richard said the robbery idea was Spencer’s, court documents state

Spencer surrendered to police on Wednesday for his alleged role in the incident.

Spencer was charged with criminal attempt to commit first-degree robbery and conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery.

Spencer was held on a $500,000 bond. Detectives served an additional seven outstanding arrest warrants on Spencer that were held by other law enforcement agencies for five counts of probation violation and two counts of failing to appear in court.

Spencer was held on a total of $650,150 bond for all of the above arrest warrants and arraigned on Thursday.

Richard was held on $500,000 and charged with criminal attempt to commit murder, four counts of criminal attempt to commit first-degree robbery, and other charges.
