NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) A New Haven man has been charged in the shooting death of a teenager and wounding another youth in March.

Police said Thursday that 18-year-old Jeffrey Covington has been charged with first-degree murder, assault and weapons violations in the shooting death of 17-year-old Taijohn Washington and and the shooting assault of 16-year-old Travon Washington at Lilac and Butler Streets.

Police say an investigation uncovered evidence which identified Covington as the lone shooter.

Covington was being held on a $2 million bond. It was unclear if he had an attorney.

Police Chief Dean Esserman says the department is ``committed to the families of our community with the hope that we have brought justice and relief to these grieving families.''
