Police charge teen boy in connection with murder of Bridgeport 14-year-old Jose Nunez, second arrest in case

A 14-year-old boy who was “complicit” in the murder of 14-year-old Jose Nunez last week in Bridgeport has been arrested and charged, police announced Monday night.

Detectives said the boy, who was not identified publicly because of his age, admitted he played a role in Nunez's death early last week, Capt. Brian Fitzgerald said. He turned himself in to police Monday and was charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Nunez was found dead in the woods in Oxford a day after he vanished from his parents' home on July 28 and Bridgeport police charged 19-year-old Diante Willoughby, with whom Nunez communicated on Snapchat, with the boy's murder on Thursday.
