Police have arrested an 18-year-old woman in connection with the shooting of a man found in a crashed car in Waterbury last week.

Officers responded to the parking lot of Bertie’s Restaurant on North Main Street at 7:49 p.m. last Tuesday to investigate a crash and later determined that the driver, a 38-year-old man, had a gunshot wound in the back of his head.

The vehicle he was in had gone through a parking lot and the backyard of a nearby home, hit several objects, then stopped, police said.

Investigators developed leads and obtained an arrest warrant for 18-year-old Angela Bodden-Mitchell. They took her into custody on Saturday.

Bodden-Mitchell is charged with criminal attempt at murder, first-degree criminal attempt at robbery, and conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery. She was arraigned on Monday and held on $2.5 million bond.

On Monday, police said the victim was not expected to survive, according to police. On Tuesday, they said the man, 38-year-old Keni Williams, of Waterbury, died at the hospital and his death is being investigated as a homicide.

Additional arrests are expected, police said.
