BRIDGEPORT — Police charged a Waterbury man Tuesday evening with a shooting from earlier this month that left a Bridgeport man dead.
Jaquan Bryant, 32, of Waterbury, was charged with murder and criminal possession of a firearm. His bond was set at $2.5 million, according to Scott Appleby, the director of Bridgeport's Office of Emergency Management.
The fatal shooting took place just before 2 a.m. Nov. 6 near Mystique, a gentlemen's club on Main Street. Police said Bryant was involved in a physical altercation with one of the club's customers at closing time.
Bryant allegedly left the club and then drove by the customer, firing six shots at the man. Police said Bryant missed his intended target and struck Bridgeport resident Raheem Lynch, 24, who was sitting in a nearby car.
Lynch was dropped off at St. Vincent's Medical Center and later pronounced dead at the hospital, police said earlier this month.
