WATERBURY Police have charged a second man in the fatal shooting of Luiz Vasquez last October, alleging he handed the triggerman a gun as Vasquez tried to flee the scene by car.
City police said 27-year-old Hector Morales, a Waterbury resident, was arrested Wednesday and charged with murder, carrying a pistol without a permit and illegal transfer of a pistol in connection with the Oct. 7 shooting.
That day, police were called to Walnut Avenue after a report of a shooting around 6:42 p.m., where first responders found Vasquez dead behind the wheel of a Kia Optima that had been struck by gunfire. The car had crashed into a fire hydrant and parked car, suffering “extensive front end damage,” and deploying the car’s airbags, police spokeswoman Sgt. Nadine Amatruda said.

More than 200 lawsuits have been filed by solar installation companies since 2017 against 19 different Connecticut municipalities.
The issue lies with a state law exempting renewable energy sources like solar panels “installed for the generation of electricity for private residential use” and whether that should cover systems that feed power onto the grid or are owned by a third party.
Most solar installations involve such third-party ownership agreements, due to the steep upfront costs, according to the Connecticut Green Bank, a quasi-public agency that arranges financing for clean energy projects.
