New Details On Danbury Teen's Slaying: Report
Two teenagers were arrested on felony murder charges in connection with the death of 18-year-old Gabe Bardo on Aug. 5.
DANBURY, CT — In an effort of revenge, two teenagers attacked 18-year-old Gabe Bardo on Abbott Street in Danbury, according to court documents cited in a report from the News Times. Ronald Massagli, 15, and another youth whose name was redacted from court records jumped on the hood of Bardo's car and smashed his windshield in after a marijuana deal went awry.
Massagli's arrest affidavit shows the other youth took the marijuana from Bardo and punched him. Massagli was also alleged to have punched the victim. The report indicates the teens wanted to get revenge after Bardo was found with seven grams of weed by New York State Police in October.
Massagli and 16-year-old Lorenzo Santana were both arrested last week on felony murder charges. Police found Bardo sitting next to his running car before he was transported to the hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
