A former Ansonia man has been found guilty of murder for the death of Emily Todd of Bethel.  A jury also convicted Brandon Roberts on charges of robbery and carrying a pistol without a permit.  The 25-year old was killed December 8th 2018  near a boat ramp in Bridgeport.

Police said Todd’s mother told detectives that her daughter had met Roberts on an online dating app, but soon called off the relationship. The 29-year old convinced her to meet him one more time. 

Evidence presented at trial showed Roberts confessed to police after his arrest and stole money from Todd's bank account after the shooting. The murder weapon was later recovered by Cleveland, Ohio police after Roberts sold the gun on the street when he fled Connecticut.

Sentencing is scheduled for June 24th in Bridgeport Superior Court.
