Man, 18, Charged In Naugatuck Shooting Incident: Police

NAUGATUCK, CT — An 18-year-old Naugatuck man was arrested Wednesday in connection to a shooting incident that occurred in a parking lot in town last month, according to police.

In a news release posted to Facebook, police said officers executed both a search-and-seizure and an arrest warrant for Ryan Rowe, 18, at his Naugatuck home around 8 p.m.

According to police, the warrants stemmed from a shooting that occurred early the morning of Aug. 6 at the Cross Street commuter lot in which a 20-year-old man sustained a gunshot injury. The injured man was later taken to a local hospital.

Rowe was charged with first-degree assault, illegal discharge of a firearm and carrying a pistol without a permit. Police also noted additional arrests are possible as officers continue to investigate the incident.

"We commend our detectives," police said on Facebook, "who have been working continuously on this investigation since August to obtain an arrest warrant for a suspect on this incident."
