Caleb Tisdol, wounded in 2017 New Britain police shooting, charged with armed robbery of two people in January

Caleb Tisdol, the teenager who was wounded when New Britain police fatally shot Zoe Dowdell three years ago, was arrested Monday on charges that he robbed two people at gunpoint this winter.

Police have been searching for Tisdol since October, when he missed a court appearance on more than 10 felony charges connected with a series of carjackings and robberies across central Connecticut in 2017.

Agents with the U.S. Marshals Service early Monday located Tisdol, 18, in Hartford, where he was taken into custody without incident.

Various social justice organizations have accused police of racism in the death of Dowdell, an aspiring rapper who was known as Gangstalicious.
