HARTFORD — Hartford police have arrested a Hartford man who they say shot and killed a 3-year-old boy as he sat in a parked car with his mother and sisters in the North End last weekend.
Jaziah Smith, 19, of Atwood Street, was taken into custody Monday morning and charged with murder, accused of killing Randell Jones, 3, of Hartford, in a drive-by shooting at 182 Nelson St. on April 10. A passenger who police say was the intended target crawled over Randell’s mother and out her driver’s side window before the mother checked on her children and then drove to an area hospital, where Randell died, according to police.
