A Hartford teenager arrested Tuesday for the murder of a 74-year-old man is also a suspect in a May 22 Manchester shooting that killed a convenience store clerk.
Manchester police expect to arrest Charles "Blue" Wilson, 18, on Friday for the murder of Aurang Zaib Sahi, 36, at the Super Convenience Store on Hartford Road.
Sahi has 2 little kids and his wife is pregnant. Customers were thrilled to hear police say they have their man.
"A lot of people couldn't believe it. They came into the store and cried and teared up for this guy because he was so nice," said Saleem Daig, the clerk who now works Sahi's shifts.
A new sign on the door now greets customers. It reads "They caught the guy!"
Daig says Sahi's murder was senseless. The gunman left empty handed.
In the Hartford case, police say Wilson tried robbing the elderly man to buy a bottle of liquor.
