NORWICH – 2020 was a tragic year for the city with the highest number of homicides – three – tallied between January and July, though as of Wednesday, suspects in each of the murder cases had been presented in court.
After three years without a homicide in Norwich, the first murder came on Jan. 18., 2020 with the stabbing death of 33-year-old Jason Beck at 31 Sandy Lane.
Jeffrey Stovall, Jr., 22, of 8 Malden St., Worcester, Mass., was charged with murder a day later after telling police Beck’s death was the result of a domestic argument.
He pleaded not guilty to the crime and his case is still winding its way through the pre-trial process. Stovall is due next in New London Superior Court on April 6.
