Antoine David Smith, 36, of West Haven, was arrested on a warrant Friday and charged with second-degree manslaughter.

The arrest is the result of an investigation regarding the assault that occurred March 17 outside the Krauszer’s store on Campbell Avenue near Brown Street, according to Sgt. Charles Young.

Police responded to the area of Campbell Avenue near Brown Street at about 8:40 p.m. on March 17 on a breach of peace/assault complaint.
