6 Charged In Street Takeover In North Haven: Police

NORTH HAVEN, CT — Six people have been arrested in connection with a street takeover last December in North Haven, including the driver of a vehicle that struck two spectators while spinning around a ring of fire, according to police.

Police responded around 2 a.m. on Dec. 28 to a street takeover taking place at the intersection of Montowese Avenue and the I-91 Exit 9 on / off ramp. The caller told police that two people were struck by a vehicle that was driving erratically.

“Officers arrived on scene, but the injured individuals were no longer there,” police wrote in a post on Facebook. “Those involved in the street takeover immediately left the scene upon police arrival.

“Detectives were assigned to further investigate and identify those who took part in the illegal street take-over. Since then, they have obtained multiple search warrants and have identified and arrested six individuals involved in the street takeover that evening, for various roles.”

Police said the driver of the vehicle that struck two people was identified as 28-year-old Segundo Tixi Tixi of Flushing, New York.

Tixi Tixi was arrested Thursday, March 6 by the U.S. Marshal Service at his residence in New York, according to police. Tixi Tixi is being held in New York as a fugitive from justice during the extradition process to Connecticut, police said.

Upon extradition, police said Tixi Tixi will be charged with second-degree assault, evading responsibility which caused serious physical injury, evading responsibility which caused physical injury, second-degree breach of peace, first-degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving, and illegal racing on a highway.
