Suspects Plead Not Guilty to Attempted Murder in Stamford

A former football star who apparently is now a convicted felon with past gang ties to Stamford, has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges, along with a female accomplice.

The pair is accused of firing seven shots into a car with two people inside on Stamford’s West Side Friday night, and on Monday they pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other charges.

It was a wild scene for I-95 drivers Friday night when a man and his girlfriend drove after the suspects who are accused of shooting at the victims — first in Stamford, then as they drove along the highway and again as the chase continued into in East Norwalk where it ended with a car crash in front of Penny’s Diner on East Avenue in Norwalk.

A judge on Monday did not reduce the $500,000 bond for Robert “B.J.” Hudson, 32, of Cowes St., and the $100,000 bond for Shameka NcNairn, 26, is accused of driving the getaway car.

According to The Advocate, Hudson was a former football star at the King School who now had numerous convictions and pending cases.
