Eugene McKnight, age 37, was arrested on a warrant around 5:30 a.m., Thursday, May 27, in Norwalk nabbed by the Marshals, along with the Norwalk Police Department, the Bridgeport Police, and the Connecticut Department of Probation.
The warrant for McKnight’s arrest stemmed from a shooting that occurred in Bridgeport on Saturday, March 20, said Sgt. Sofia Gulino of the Norwalk Police.
McKnight has a pending 2017 case out of West Haven in which he was charged with assault, criminal use of a weapon, and a home invasion.
The Bridgeport resident is currently wearing an ankle bracelet and is on probation as a result of that previous arrest.
Additionally, McKnight has a pending 2018 case out of Bridgeport on firearms charges.
Following his arrest, McKnight was turned over to Bridgeport Police Detectives and transported to Bridgeport Police Department for processing.
Bridgeport Police Capt. Kevin Gilleran said McKnight's arrest was another step in the city's effort to curb gun violence.
