Close to eight months after 49-year-old Becky Switzer was shot dead when a bullet entered her Waterbury apartment from outside, her accused killer has been captured in West Virginia.
U.S. Marshals arrested 29-year-old Tyjha Ali Watson in Charleston.
Watson is charged with firing the shots on Eastern Avenue overnight on June 15th.
Watson has also been wanted since 2021 for charges in a federal indictment in West Virginia stemming from a drug trafficking investigation.
