Ansonia Police charge man, 24, in June shooting incident in plaza

Jonathan Martinez
 

ANSONIA - City resident Jonathan Javier Martinez, 24, was arrested today [Tuesday]   for his involvement in the June 22 shooting in the Rite Aid and Marshalls parking lot at 407 Main St., Ansonia Police Lt. Patrick Lynch said in a release. 

Martinez was the aggressor in a dispute that started over Martinez believing the victim, a 31-year-old Ansonia resident, said something to him as the victim drove past him on Main Street, Lynch said. 
Martinez followed the victim into Marshalls where he confronted the victim demanding to see the victim’s car. 
The two went outside where the victim attempted to show Martinez he was not involved in the incident and Martinez threatened the victim. 
While in the parking lot, Martinez displayed a handgun, placed it against the victim’s neck and the two struggled over the gun, Lynch said.
During the struggle two shots were fired with one striking the victim’s car and the other striking Martinez in the leg. Witnesses at the scene and video from the area corroborated the victim’s version of the incident. 
Lynch said Martinez does not have a pistol permit.

Martinez was charged with criminal attempt assault first degree, threatening first degree, carrying a pistol without a permit, and reckless endangerment first degree. 
Martinez was held on $300,00 bond [and was] to be arraigned at Derby Superior Court today, July 11, 2023.
