DANBURY, CT — A third arrest was announced Thursday in connection with the murder of Gabe Bardo. Police say a juvenile male was arrested on a warrant and charged with robbery in the second degree, larceny in the fifth degree, two counts of conspiracy and two counts of criminal liability.

Police say more arrests are anticipated, and the juvenile is the third suspect arrested in connection with the Aug. 5 murder. Ronald Massagli, 15, and Lorenzo Santana, 16, were arrested on felony murder charges earlier this month.

"The warrant was a result of the Danbury Police Detective Division establishing that the Juvenile Male had a connection to the homicide of Gabriel Bara-Bardo," said Danbury Police Det. Lt. Christian Carroccio said in a press release. "Additional arrests are anticipated."

The juvenile's role in the case was not immediately released by police. Check back with Patch for updates.

Court records show Massagli and an unidentified teenager attacked Bardo and smashed the windshield of his car on Abbott Street after a marijuana deal. Police allege the teens attacked Bardo after he was found with marijuana by New York State Police in October.

At 5:46 p.m. on Aug. 5, Police found Bardo alone and unconscious next to his running car before he was transported to the hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that Bardo's death was caused by a blunt impact to the head.
