BRIDGEPORT POLICE ARREST MAN FOR MURDER IN SHOOTING AT PARK AVENUE AND COTTAGE STREET ONE WEEK AGO

One week after a man was shot and killed outside of his car at the intersection of Park Avenue and Cottage Street, the Bridgeport Police Department has arrested a man for his murder.

Jorge Luis Oritz, 57, was taken into custody by the patrol division while walking on the East Side Sunday night. He ran from an officer but was quickly apprehended. Oritz had an active warrant for Murder and Criminal Possession of a Fi***rm. He did not have a gun on him when he was located. Detectives and officers had been searching for him for several days.

Ortiz was scheduled to be arraigned Monday morning in Bridgeport Superior court on Golden Hill Street. His bond was set at $2.5 million.

Nelson Manuel Batista, 48, of Bridgeport, was found lying on the street next to his car on Cottage Street suffering from a gunshot wound at around 9:00 a.m. on October 12th. He was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.

Police believe the shooting stemmed from a road rage incident.

Mr. Batista's funeral is scheduled for tonight.

The Bridgeport Police Department will be holding a press conference regarding the arrest at 12:00 p.m. today.
