Stamford man fatally shot in downtown Bridgeport
BRIDGEPORT Neelton Sean Gooden was winding up his workday the same way he had since the grand opening of 4 Corner Billiards downtown six months ago.
He was chatting with his co-owner outside the building on the Bank Street side of McLevy Green about 12:30 a.m. Thursday as they were getting ready to drive home.
Thats when eight to 10 gunshots from across the green abruptly announced the arrival of the citys soon-to-be seventh homicide of the year Max Antoine, 33, of Stamford.
I ducked down, Gooden recalled Thursday afternoon, back at work at the billiards hall. He was across the street coming from the other side of State Street. I heard the shots fired. I saw him running then drop to his knees.
Gooden said he ran over to where Antoine sprawled in the middle of McLevy, gasping for breath, and called 911. It was already too late; shortly after police arrived, Antoine was pronounced dead at the scene.
It appears that somebody either followed him or was waiting for him and ended up shooting him, said police Chief Armando A.J. Perez. They shot him twice.
Police said Antoine had just left a party, although they did not specify the address.
By late morning, the neighborhood around McLevy a short walk from the Margaret E. Morton Government Center and several restaurants and other small businesses along State Street was a maze of yellow police tape.
A half-dozen men in hard hats and safety vests renovating a nearby building gawked as crime scene investigators worked in a drizzling rain, the body still visible during the morning rush hour.
Two electricians walking around the crime tape on the way to their job darkly joked that it reminded them of military tours in Afghanistan.
I grew up here. (Violence is) the reason I moved out of the city, said one, a 32-year-old Ansonia resident who declined to give his name.
Eventually, staff from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner removed Antoines sheet-draped body, wheeling it off on a gurney and into a van.
Little information about Antoine was released by officials Thursday. A Facebook profile for Max Antoine was flooded with condolences and a link to a GoFundMe page established to support his memorial service.
In Stamford, numerous friends and family gathered at his West Side home, but declined to comment.
Stamford Police Capt. Richard Conklin said that department was assisting Bridgeport with the investigation. Bridgeport investigators were escorted to Antoines home in the mid-afternoon.
We are working together and they have some personnel down here and we are assisting on that. I dont want to comment too much further on their ongoing investigation, Conklin said.
Detectives have been interviewing witnesses and reviewing evidence recovered from the area, said Bridgeport Capt. Brian Fitzgerald, who oversees the homicide bureau.
Gooden said he was shocked that violence commonly seen in other parts of Bridgeport had extended downtown, which is seeing a boost of new construction, residents and businesses.
Downtown Bridgeport? Thats the whole reason I opened my business down here because it was supposed to be safe, Gooden said.
Investigators said they have some leads but are looking for more help solving the crime. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 203-576-TIPS (8477).

The criminal justice department at Northeastern Junior College staged a mock crime scene Wednesday, involving a drug dealer who was shot and killed while driving a van and end up crashing into the clock tower next to ES French. The passenger of the van was able to get out, but shot dead. With this crime scene students are able to gain real-life experience in crime scene investigations. Students who are currently enrolled in the Crime Scene Investigation course are being tested on their basic understanding in the collection of trace evidence, ballistics, and blood spatter analysis. Students work in teams of five, each of them having specific part when investigating this crime scene. The van was on loan from a junk yard, and staged with fake blood and drugs. In order for students to determine the bullet's trajectory, live rounds were fired into the van prior to its arrival at NJC. (Courtesy Photo)

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (season12)
Season 12 U.S. DVD cover
The twelfth season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation premiered on CBS on September 21, 2011, and ended on May 9, 2012. The series stars Marg Helgenberger, Ted Danson and Elisabeth Shue.
The show was moved to Wednesdays at 10:00p.m. (P/E), following Criminal Minds.[1]
Catherine and Nick adjust to life working under D.B. Russell, following their demotions, while Morgan Brody joins the CSI team ("73 Seconds"), in the twelfth season of CSI. This season, the team investigate crimes including the murder of a family ("Tell Tale Hearts"), a drowning in chocolate ("Bittersweet"), a death at a mob museum ("Maid Men"), a cold-case killing ("Crime After Crime"), the zippering of a body ("Zippered") and a sadistic slaying ("Freaks and Geeks"). Meanwhile, D.B. struggles to keep control of his family ("Brain Doe"), Morgan's helicopter is hijacked mid-flight ("CSI Down"), Doc Robbins' wife finds herself at the center of an investigation ("Genetic Disorder"), and Catherine works alongside the FBI ("Ms. Willows Regrets"), before making a life-changing decision ("Willows in the Wind"). Then, it's all change at the LVPD when Russell recruits Julie Finlay ("Seeing Red"), fresh out of anger management and ready to tackle cases such as the theft of a house ("Stealing Home"), a crippling blackout ("CSI Unplugged"), a murder at an Alice-in-Wonderland style wedding ("Malice in Wonderland"), and a race-truck explosion ("Dune and Gloom"). Later, the troubles continue for the CSI's personal lives, as Finn and D.B. struggle to come to terms with their past relationship, Ecklie is gunned down, Nick leaves CSI, and the Crime Lab is placed under the supervision of an outside agency ("Homecoming").
Ted Danson and Elisabeth Shue join the main cast, replacing Laurence Fishburne, and the outgoing Marg Helgenberger, respectively. Elisabeth Harnois becomes a series regular. Episode 13 of the season is the first and only episode of the CSI franchise episode not to feature a female lead.

WOOD RIVER JCT. Chariho Tech students brought home plenty of gold medals from the state SkillsUSA career and technical school competition on April 4. They will now go on to compete in the SkillsUSA nationals in June.
We brought in 14 gold medals, 12 silver and nine bronze medals in 17 different areas, Director Susan Votto said. Every year we try to compete in more and more competitions. I know they are very well-prepared by the instructors here at the center, and the students are motivated and they want to win and they want to do their best.
SkillsUSA is a national nonprofit partnership of students, teachers and industry representatives. The organizations mission is to prepare career and technical students to enter the workforce. Chariho Superintendent of Schools Barry Ricci said the state competition motivated students to elevate their game.
The SkillsUSA competition is a great event as it allows our students to compete against the very best students in Rhode Island, he said. As a result, expectations are raised for everyone. Im so proud of the accomplishments of our students in the SkillsUSA competition. The number of medals received is a tribute to not only the hard work of Chariho tech students, but also to their skilled and dedicated instructors.
Joseph Penhallow, Olivia Pellegino and Nick Edwards won the gold medal in crime scene investigation.
During our junior year, we had a chance to compete at the state competition, so this is our second time around, so it wasnt as nerve-wracking as the first time, Penhallow said. There were nine schools, including us.
Pellegrino said the biggest challenge was meeting the deadline.
Time management was probably our biggest challenge, getting everything done that we had to get done, she said. They were asking us to basically investigate the scene. We had to start with photography, which is what I do, and we also had to measure all the evidence and collect it in under 30 minutes.
I like that it gives students a chance to practice real-word skills before theyre even in college, Edwards added.
Drew Anderson placed first in criminal justice, a field he intends to enter when he graduates from college.
We had to do several different scenarios, such as car stops, and we also had to do other case-law scenarios. Theyd give us a scenario and wed have to handle the scenario. Im going to a four-year college to get a degree in criminal justice.
Criminal justice instructor Lt. Bob Wild had nine students in this years state competition.
Were back to the nationals again this year, which is something weve done three years in a row, he said. This will be our fourth year from crime scene investigation. I have some very talented students. I think theyll do wonders when they get into their careers in law enforcement. Theyre going to be assets wherever they go. Theyre hardworking, dedicated students.
Engineering and drafting students Hunter Claudio and Jordan Beason took first place in the mobile robotics competition.
We upset the entire room and knocked all the big teams off their pedestals, Claudio said. We really stuttered for a little bit, but we came back and just hit it back really strong.
The Chariho teams robot was small and simple a good fit, Beason said, for this contest.
One of the things about the competition was to have a small footprint with our building materials, and we also wanted to make it simple to program, so we made this simple robot that could pick up objects and move them over this fence, he said. Halfway through the match they had something called the engineering challenge where they switched the rules of the competition and our robot really favored the new rules that they came up with.
Wyatt Petrichko won a silver medal and a $1,500 scholarship in computer technology and game design.
We repaired two computers and we also did some service on the computer, making sure it was eligible for our remote desktop connection, stuff like that, he said. The scholarship was a big surprise. Im very excited about that.
In the aesthetics competition, Isla Magnusen and Melissa Morrill took first prize.
I won gold in aesthetics, which is basically makeup application and fantasy makeup, Magnusen said. It was kind of difficult. I felt the most prepared in the room, though.
Morrill was Magnusens model.
I think we made a really good team, because we communicate well, silent communication, and we know each other very well, she said.
Culinary arts student Arianna Angelly won a gold medal for her three-course meal.
I made a roasted cream of broccoli and garlic soup, a balsamic salad, and I made a pan-seared chicken breast with a white wine-mushroom pan sauce, rice pilaf and roasted zucchini, she said.
Angelly, who won a gold medal in the state competition last year, came in sixth at nationals, but this year, she said she was going for the top prize.
This year, I want to place first, she said.
