Investigators identified the victims as Fletcher's 19-year-old girlfriend, Hailey Miller, and their 2-year-old son, who were found stabbed to death inside a Meloy Road apartment in West Haven on Saturday, Feb. 15.
Police received a 911 call just before 9 p.m. after neighbors heard a woman screaming in the apartment above them, officials said. Before police arrived, they saw a man leap from a second-story window, smashing glass as he hit the pavement.
West Haven police rushed to the scene and found the man on the ground, suffering from serious injuries. He was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
