a different part of town. He was visiting a friend when he was shot.An aunt of the victim told WTNH News 8 that a girl called Kristjan and said, “My boyfriend is going to kill you.”
Kozlowsky said, “We’re aware of it,” according to WTNH. “It’s one of the many angles we’re looking at, but I don’t have anything that I can confirm and say to you at this point. But we are aware of it and looking into it as well as we’re looking into several other possibilities.”
Shelton police detectives are working with the state police Major Crime Squad on the case. Police have been in contact with the Shelton High School administration.
Officials said there would be extra security and Monday at the high school, with counseling available to students.
