As police continue to investigate the strangulation death of a 14-year-old Bridgeport boy, allegedly at the hands of a 19-year-old, police are asking people to come forward if they have information about the suspect’s criminal past.

Until this week, Diante Willoughby of Bridgeport had no criminal record, Capt. Brian Fitzgerald said at a press conference Thursday about the death of Jose Nunez. Willoughby now faces a charge of murder; he is in custody on $2 million bail.

The city is asking the public to call police at 203-581-5205 if they have information about any possible past criminal conduct of Willoughby’s.
