Case Background

Priya Whitt admitted to assisting in the fatal shootings that occurred nine years ago in New Haven. She initially faced two counts of murder, but these charges were dropped in exchange for her guilty plea.

Gregory Robinson was found guilty in September of killing Jamie Klein and assisting in Anton Moore’s murder. He received a 67-year prison sentence last week.
Reginald Gant, who has not yet appeared in court on these charges, is currently serving a federal prison sentence with an expected release in 2029.

Details of the Incident

Jamie Klein’s body was discovered after a driver encountered her daughter walking along State Road 930 in New Haven. The child indicated that her mother was injured and directed the driver back to their home, where Klein was found stabbed to death.
