1. Popular New Haven Restaurant Closing After 18 Years (patch.com) — Longtime favorite Westville Seafood is closing its doors at 1514 Whalley Avenue in New Haven after 18 years, marking the end of a beloved neighborhood gathering spot. Owners thanked New Haven customers for years of support, memories, and milestones, and hinted this may be goodbye only to the current location, not necessarily the business forever.
2. 21-Year-Old New Haven Resident Dies After Shooting: Police (patch.com) — New Haven police say 21-year-old resident Garnet Beckford has died from injuries suffered in a Thursday night double shooting near Mead Street and Judson Avenue, now being investigated as a homicide. A second victim from East Haven survived, and detectives are asking anyone with information to contact them or use the anonymous tip line to help move the case forward.
3. Absent Florida owner avoids court for 4 months as his Connecticut building fines hit $259,000 (thecooldown.com) — A long-blighted corner building at 781 Whalley Ave. in New Haven remains dangerously rundown while its Florida-based owner faces $259,000 in unpaid anti-blight fines and an active arrest warrant. City officials have paused additional penalties while a repair permit is in place but warn fines could soar again if promised work stalls, as they lean on tougher anti-blight tactics to push compliance.

Connecticut Man Arrested After Street Takeover Crossed Several New Haven County Towns, With Police Seizing a Motorcycle and Charging Him With Pursuit and Reckless Driving (centralrecorder.com) — Police say a Friday night street takeover rolled through several New Haven County towns, with riders on motorcycles, scooters, and off-road vehicles causing a fast-moving disruption.
